Pre-requisites

Migration process
- Confluence instance migration - Use the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant app to migrate everything you need from Confluence Server to Atlassian Cloud. Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant explains in detail the step-by-step procedure to migrate the required content. As mentioned in the previous section, Atlassian does this job for you in most cases.
- Install (and configure) Advanced Tables for Confluence cloud app on your cloud instance.
Install Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant on the server/DC instance from which you intend to migrate the Advanced Tables for Confluence app configurations.
Navigate to the Confluence Administration > Atlassian Cloud > Migration Assistant screen. With the help of Migration Assistant, you can migrate global app configurations, users, and groups, as required. For more information, refer to this page.
Migration of Profiles using CCMA is supported from Advanced Tables for Confluence, server/DC version 8.7.5, and cloud app version 1.2.14-AC.
