You can migrate JMWE data from Jira Server/Data Center to Jira Cloud. JMWE supports automated migration using the [Jira Cloud Migration Assistant](https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/use-the-jira-cloud-migration-assistant-to-migrate/) (JCMA) in versions 7.2.0 and later.

# Automated Path using JCMA for later versions

JMWE for Jira Server/Data Center 7.2.0 and later has an automated path for migrating from Server to Cloud. If you are running JMWE version 7.2.0 or later, please [refer the article on migrating using the JCMA](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=jmwec&title=Migrating%20from%20Server%20or%20Data%20Center&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=78481078).

# Manual migrations

Prior to supporting automated migration using JCMA, migrations needed to be done manually. Although not recommended, you can migrate earlier versions of JMWE for Server/Data Center (prior to 7.2.0) by referring to the [article on manual migration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/78480925). Again, this is not recommended. We strongly advise upgrading to the latest version (7.2.0 or above) and using the automated path using JCMA.
