Once completed, a confirmation message will be displayed indicating that the plugin has been successfully removed from your Jira Cloud instance.
Post-Uninstallation Actions:
Verify that the plugin has been removed by revisiting the ‘Manage your apps’ section; the Sustainian plugin should no longer be listed.
Ensure that any functionalities or dashboard elements previously added by the plugin are deactivated and no longer visible to users.
