Plan your Cloud migration
Documents to help you prepare to migrate your Atlassian Server or Data Center products.
After you create a migration plan, the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant runs a set of pre-migration checks to make sure your data can be migrated to Cloud.
It checks that, for example:
Cloud products are installed in the destination site
Users have unique and valid email addresses
You don’t exceed your user or storage limit
To check for errors:
Progress through your migration plan until you reach the Pre-migration checks screen
View the details of your migration plan from the Migrations dashboard
The pre-migration checks are divided into the following groups:
System
App version of the Cloud Migration Assistant
Users and groups
Spaces
You can expand each check to see information on how to fix the related problems. If you select the Continue and fix later button on this screen, you can come back to view the checks after you have saved your migration.
Learn how to solve common problems shown by checks
After you’ve reviewed and fixed the checks, you can proceed to reviewing your migration.
To review your migration:
Progress through your migration plan until you reach the Review migration screen
View the details of your migration plan from the Migrations dashboard
Learn how to view the details of your migration plan
After you reviewed the details of your migration, you can run or save it. In both cases, it will be saved to the dashboard where you can see the details and monitor the progress if you decided to run it.
To run your migration, select Run now.
To save your migration for later, select Save.
You’ll be moved to the Migrations dashboard where you can see your migration and monitor the progress.
When you initiate a new migration while an existing migration involving users and groups is in progress, the new migration is shown as in progress and the migration assistant will wait 60 minutes for the previous migration to complete. If the previous migration remains incomplete by the end of this period, this new migration you initiated will fail.
Once you’re done, check the details of your migration or see how it’s progressing. Learn how to view the details and monitor the progress
We have a number of channels available to help you with your migration.
