Migrate your apps from server to cloud

Develop your app migration strategy

Apps aren't automatically migrated when you move from server to cloud. To migrate any relevant data, you’ll need to work with the individual app vendor(s). This includes Atlassian-built apps, like Team Calendars and Questions for Confluence.

Some apps do have the capability to export and import their data but you'll need to check with the app developers or their documentation to confirm if this is possible.

Before deciding to migrate, review any apps and custom integrations you may have to determine what you'll need for your cloud site. To help you through this, we've put together some advice and best practices.

If you need to migrate apps

If you do need to map third-party apps to cloud, first check if there's a cloud equivalent of your server or Data Center app in our Marketplace. If there is a cloud equivalent, your next step would be to check with the app developer to see if it stores any data. If it does, you'll need to work with the app vendor to understand your data migration options. 

Atlassian doesn't directly handle migrating data generated from third-party server apps to cloud apps. If there's no equivalent and the app stores data, you should still contact the vendor to see if there's a way to export the data.

Keep in mind you may also have custom-built apps to consider.
