What moves in a cloud-to-cloud migration for Jira

Starting January, 2024, we’re renaming the Jira cloud-to-cloud migration feature to Copy product data. We’re moving this feature to Atlassian Administration at admin.atlassian.com in a unified experience along with Confluence cloud-to-cloud data copy.

We’re rolling out the change slowly, so if you aren’t able to access this feature by logging into your Jira Cloud and selecting System > Settings > Migrate cloud site, we recommend you go to admin.atlassian.com, and select:

Settings > Data management Copy product data

You’ll need to have organization administrator permissions to access and use the Copy product data feature.
