This article contains information about migrating HTML macro content from server to cloud. Due to restrictions in Confluence cloud, the HTML macro name was changed to HTML-bobswift, and Migration to Confluence Cloud in HTML for Confluence Configuration allows you to initiate a process that automatically updates the macro name to prepare your content for migration. Once this process is completed, administrators can then run the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant to migrate all your content to Confluence cloud.
With the introduction of the HTML macro name update process, the macro name is now updated from HTML to HTML-bobswift for all pages and/or templates.
This article contains the relevant information required to make a seamless transition of HTML content from server to cloud.
Instructions
The instructions are divided into two parts: understand how many pages and/or templates need updates, and run the actual update process. The first part merely allows administrators to keep a check on any errors or mismatches in the number of updates made in the second part.
See how many pages and/or templates in your instance require the HTML macro name update:
- Select
> Administration > Macro usage, or search for Macro usage. - Scroll down to Bob Swift Atlassian Apps - HTML and see the number of pages mentioned for the html entry.
This is the number of pages and/or templates that require the HTML macro name change.
Before migration:
After migration:
How to confirm if all pages and/or templates are updated?
After this update process is completed, you can revisit the Macro usage page to verify that all the required pages and/or templates that use the HTML macro name are updated. This may take a few seconds depending on the total number of pages and templates that were affected due to the update process.
Update the macro name from HTML to HTML-bobswift on all relevant pages and templates in your instance:
- Select > Manage apps.
Either search for HTML for Confluence or scroll to Bob Swift Configuration, and click HTML to view app configuration.
Try this for older Confluence versions!
Navigate to CONFLUENCE ADMINISTRATION > Settings > ATLASSIAN MARKETPLACE > HTML.
This opens the HTML for Confluence Configuration page.
- Select Migrate to Confluence Cloud. This tab displays information about the macro name update process.
- Click Macro upgrade status to know more about the HTML macro usage in your instance. Until the previous release, these statistics were shown directly before the next step.
Click Update pages to start the updation process.
Leaving this page does not disrupt the update process as it runs in the background.
This process can be run as needed to migrate macro name in the pages and templates.
Every page or template that is processed shows up as an update in Page history.
After the update process is completed, the macro usage information on the page is updated and these updates can be verified through the Macro usage page as mentioned in the previous section.
Administrators must still run the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant to complete the migration process from server to cloud. This is because the update process does not actually migrate the HTML content, but simply updates the macro name across all your pages and templates in server/Data Center to match the macro name in cloud
