CCMA Migration Process

What you need before you start:

  • A Confluence Server instance (with the latest update of Atlassian Migration Assistant)
  • A Confluence Cloud instance with Forms for Confluence Cloud installed
  • On both instances:
    • Confluence admin permissions
    • Space admin permissions.

How to prep:


You will need administrator permissions for the Server/DC instance and the Cloud site. 

Migrations

The process for migrating Forms data using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant is as follows:

  • Set up an appropriate Confluence for Cloud instance as the target instance for migration.
  • Refresh the connection between the Confluence instance and the migration service.
  • Migrate your content, users, and the current workflow state using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant *.

*It is recommended that you create a migration for each individual space.
