What migrates with the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant

The Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant will add data to a Confluence Cloud site without overwriting any existing data. This means you can migrate data to a new cloud site or a cloud site with existing data. Not all data can be migrated yet with the latest version of the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant.

The section Macros in the legacy editor only in the What are macros? topic shows the list of macros that are supported only in the legacy editor of the Confluence Cloud. These macros, if migrated from the server or Data Center, are only supported in the legacy editor of the Confluence Cloud. They’ll not work in the new editor of Confluence Cloud. Therefore, you’ll need to use alternative macros with similar functionality supported in the new editor of Confluence Cloud.

Team Calendar components that are not migrated

Internal subscriptions: In Confluence, a Team Calendar is linked to a specific space. Internal subscriptions lets a team view events from a different space's calendar, right inside their own Team Calendar. Internal subscriptions are not migrated. After migration, your Team Calendar will still have all its own events, but won't show the events from other spaces' calendars that you had subscribed to. To get those events back, you'll need to set up the internal subscriptions again in the cloud.
Jira linked Team Calendar events : Your Team Calendar can include events linked to Jira projects, these events help you visualize key dates from Jira. However, during the migration process, these Jira-linked events are not migrated correctly. The connection between your calendar and Jira changes in the migration process, and there events do not appear in cloud.
