Migrating Macros

The following information applies to macros that are not nested. Confluence Cloud does not support nesting. Pages with large numbers of nested macros may not survive a migration unchanged, especially if 3rd party macros are combined with our macros. If this applies to you please contact us for support.

When you migrate a page from DC to Cloud the contents of that page including any macros are also moved. On the published version of the page, the appearance of the macros may change, and some may not be displayed at all. On the edit page, all of the content will be preserved, but the macro will be converted into one of three types.

For more guidance on how to migrate individual macros, see our Macro Migration Guides on the Mosaic Migration hub.
