Migrate from Scaffolding Data Center to Scaffolding Cloud

This page outlines the steps to migrate your Scaffolding data from Confluence Data Center to Confluence Cloud.

For detailed information, refer to Migrate Scaffolding Data Center to Scaffolding Cloud.

Before you begin

Before migrating your Scaffolding data to Confluence Cloud, to understand how your data will appear after migration:

• Review Feature differences between Scaffolding Data Center and Scaffolding Cloud.

• Review Macro differences between Scaffolding Data Center and Scaffolding Cloud.

• Review your Scaffolding Structure and Live Template macros because they will be migrated automatically along with the Confluence data using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant app.

Migration workflow overview

The migration workflow consists of three main steps: Prepare, Migrate, and Convert. Each step ensures a smooth transition of your Scaffolding data to Confluence Cloud.

Open

Step 1 - Prepare for the Scaffolding data migration

To prepare your apps:

• Update your Scaffolding Data Center app to version 8.30.0 or later for Confluence 7 or 8 or version 9.1.0 or later for Confluence 9. We recommend updating to the latest version.

• Install or update the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant app to the current latest version.

• Optionally, enable logs for the Scaffolding data migration.

• Optionally, create a staging Confluence Data Center instance.

• Create your Confluence Cloud site and install the Scaffolding Cloud app.

• Schedule the migration window.

To prepare your Scaffolding data:

• Clean up your content from non-migratable macros.

• Unnest the migratable macros.

• Unrestrict the pages with Scaffolding macros.

• Rework live templates that are based on Scaffolding templates.

• Remove hidden content.

Step 2 - Migrate your Scaffolding data

During this part of the workflow, you:

• Configure the migration tool for the migration.

• Run Confluence and Scaffolding pre-migration checks, and fix reported issues.

• Perform the Confluence and Scaffolding data migration.

Step 3 - Convert your Scaffolding macros

During the final part of the workflow, you convert your Scaffolding Data Center macros to Scaffolding Cloud macros. You can:

• Perform a bulk conversion of all Scaffolding macro within a space.

• Individually convert the Scaffolding macros on a page.
