How to migrate boards and filters
The Jira Cloud Migration Assistant lets you migrate boards and filters to cloud. This includes boards created from multiple projects, boards from existing saved filters, and shared filters.
Before migration, it's important to understand how filters can be shared:
Shared access with | Description |
|---|---|
Private | The filter is private and can only be viewed and edited by the owner and Jira admins. |
User/Group/Project | The filter is shared with a user, group, or project. Depending on the permissions granted, users can view or edit the filter. |
Any logged-in user | The filter is shared with all users on your Jira instance. |
Anyone on the web | The filter is publicly accessible. To limit access to logged-in users, either:

Note: Single project boards and filters created and shared with projects selected for migration would be automatically migrated regardless of the options chosen.
Migration options
In the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant, you can choose one of the following options:
Option 1 : Only filters and boards shared to selected projects
Both single and cross-project boards created on or shared with the projects you've selected for migration.
What’s migrated
All filters and boards created or shared with your selected projects
What’s not migrated
Single project filters shared with:
Public/private, or to certain users and groups
Non-migrating projects
Example
If you've selected Project A and Project B for migration, then all boards and filters created or shared to these two projects would be migrated.
Boards and filters shared with public/private, users, groups, or with a non-migrating Project C would not be migrated.
Option 2 : All filters and cross-project boards
All filters (both single and cross-project) and cross-project boards, irrespective of their shared access.
What’s migrated
All filters and boards created or shared with your selected projects
What’s not migrated
Single project boards created on non-migrating projects. To migrate these boards, include the relevant projects in your migration.
Example
If you’ve selected Project A and Project B, then all filters and cross-project boards will be migrated regardless of their shared permission.
Single project boards created on project C, which is not included in migration would not be migrated. To migrate these boards, you’ll have to migrate Project C.
Option 3 : None
What’s migrated
No boards and filters will be included for migration. (Some boards and filters are migrated even when this option is selected. Known issue: MIG-1654)
