This page outlines the steps to migrate your Page Approval data from Confluence Server or Data Center to Confluence Cloud.
Pre-work
Before you start, read, review and understand the macro differences and feature differences between the Page Approval for Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud
You also need to be aware of the following limitations, and take the suggested actions if needed
Page macros
The Page Approval Report is an unsupported macro. The macro will be migrated but will not be available in Confluence Cloud.
The Page Acknowledgement Report is an unsupported macro. The macro will be migrated but will not be available in Confluence Cloud.
The Page Approval macro can be migrated, but it is a read-only macro in Confluence Cloud.
Page approval status
The page approval status can be migrated successfully to the new Page Approval Cloud experience:
if the page in the server instance is not approved, the page status shown post-migration is Request Approval
If the page in server instance is approved, the page status shown post-migration is Approved
For an Approved page status, a user needs to manually start a new approval request by selecting the page status panel.
Migration
perform a test migration to understand the steps required to migrate data and reconfigure the migrated data
This guide assumes you have successfully migrated your Confluence Server data into Confluence Cloud, per Atlassian's Server to Cloud migration guide.
