Guide
Step 1 - Plan out your migration
Before you start, consider the following:
- Understand the macro differences and feature differences between Visibility for Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud.
- Understand what are the effect of Show if / Hide if macros that are using parameters that are not available in Cloud
- Understand what are the effect of Show if / Hide if macros that contain elements that are not available in Cloud
- Understand how many Visibility macros that are on your site
- You can easily find out the location of all your Visibility macros by going to Confluence Admin > Macro Usage > Search for "Visibility "
- Allocate time for a test migration to understand the steps required to migrate data using the Atlassian migration tool (CCMA)
Step 2 - Migrate your site using the Confluence Cloud Migration tool
- Atlassian migration tool (CCMA) will migrate all Visibility macro data together with your pages.
- Make sure you mark the app as "Needed in Cloud"
Step 3 - Check if your data are all intact
Things to take note of:
- "User Groups" parameter in Cloud may not be working properly if the Groups are not migrated to Cloud.
- Refer back to the feature differences for other Visibility macro behavior that is different from Server & Cloud
