What are the differences between the cloud vs server?

The benefit of a cloud environment is that your cloud app will always have the most up-to-date features available for Confluence itself and any installed apps.

However, Atlassian Confluence Cloud also has several functional differences and when moving to Confluence Cloud. You’ll also notice a few differences with our Comala Publishing for Cloud app.

As we progress through the cloud journey, we will continue to work toward feature parity between our server/data centre apps and our cloud apps. In the meantime, not all features available on our server apps are available for cloud.

The feature comparison where we list all the major features in our cloud app in comparison with Comala Publishing server app can be found in the product comparison.

For example, only pages are published in cloud using Comala Publishing but not blog posts. You can publish

  • all the pages in a space using the space settings publishing dashboard

  • individual pages, one at a time, using the publishing popup on the page

  • view a space publishing report showing the status of publish and sync for pages in the space

We also have a features roadmap indicating possible future features to be released on our cloud app and new cloud features available can be seen in our release log.
