> ⚠️ **On completion of migration from version 3.3.0:**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ - <span style="color: #000000">All global configuration in the Configuration page are transferred from the server instance to the cloud instance as specified in the Cloud Migration Assistant wizard.</span>
> ⚠️ - <span style="color: #000000">If multiple migrations are performed on the same cloud instance, the latest migration takes precedence.</span>
> ⚠️ - <span style="color: #000000">Any subsequent migrations performed on the same cloud instance only adds or merges the data, but does not delete any existing data.</span>

> ℹ️ **Important information:**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - <span style="color: #000000">The migration of data from server to cloud is an independent process from app installation or configuration in your cloud instance. We recommend that administrators verify that all your data (configuration as well as your Confluence pages) are displayed properly after the migration process is completed. Please </span>[<span style="color: #000000">report any issues</span>](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HTML/pages/1003685136/Help+and+Support+-+Cloud) <span style="color: #000000">immediately after looking through the known problem list.</span>
> ℹ️ - <span style="color: #000000">We capture certain details, excluding private user data or any personally identifiable information, during the migration process to help us improve our app continually. Refer to </span>[<span style="color: #000000">Analytics data</span>](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GVIZ/pages/70223491/Analytics+data)<span style="color: #000000"> to learn more about the information that is gathered.</span>
