Set up Confluence Cloud
Get the high-level details you need to set up your Confluence Cloud site in order to meet your team's needs.
When the page conversion functionality is available in your Confluence instance, you can:
choose which pages get converted to the new editor functionality and when.
preview any page before converting it.
restore a page to its previous, legacy editor version.
You can see which editor your page uses by looking at the differences in the editor toolbar.
The New editor: Includes Publish… or Update and Close buttons in the top menu and the emoji icon
The Legacy editor: Has earlier versions of text-color picker and page formatting
When page conversion is turned on for your site, you'll get a banner notification at the top of the first page you edit, and you’ll see a notification at the lower left of the page.
Before clicking convert, we want to give you a chance to see how the page will look in the new editing experience.
Click Preview page. More detailed information is presented about the process.
Click Convert page. Page refreshes, and the content appears in the new editor.
Click Publish… to save the new editor version of the page.
Space admins can enable auto-conversion from legacy to the new editor for all pages with eligible content in a space. To do this:
Navigate to Space Settings → Manage Space → Convert Pages
Toggle on Convert pages automatically setting
Site admins can enable auto-conversion from legacy to the new editor for all pages containing eligible content within a site.
Navigate to Site Settings → Further Configuration → Convert pages automatically
Check Enable
If space or site conversion is enabled, eligible pages will be previewed in the new editor until published, at which point the new editor is “saved.” This can be reverted to legacy in page history.
If space or site conversion is not enabled, only pages that were published in the new editor will stay in the new editor.
We want you to trust that we are handling your information properly. This table details all the elements that you can add to a legacy editor page in all their complex combinations. You can easily scan to find out which elements are available in which editor and what happens when a page containing that element is converted to the new editor. Most elements convert completely. However, for those which are modified slightly, you’ll find the details of what happens. If an element can’t be converted, you’ll find information about our short-term or long-term plans as well as Confluence Cloud Support requests if we are already tracking it. Keep in mind that this information will change as we refine the conversion rules and resolve the elements that can't be converted yet.
