This page outlines the steps to migrate your Scaffolding data from Confluence Data Center to Confluence Cloud. 

## Before you begin

Before migrating your Scaffolding data to Confluence Cloud, to understand how your data will appear after migration:

- Review [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1356071197](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1356071197).
- Review [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1827012708](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1827012708).
- Review your [Scaffolding Structure](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFS/pages/477597851)[ ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=SCAF&title=Scaffolding%20structure)and Live Template macros because they will be migrated automatically along with the Confluence data using the [Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant](https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/what-is-confluence-cloud-migration-assistant/) app.

## Migration workflow overview

The migration workflow consists of three main steps: Prepare, Migrate, and Convert. Each step ensures a smooth transition of your Scaffolding data to Confluence Cloud.

## [Step 1 - Prepare for the Scaffolding data migration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1356071387)

To prepare your apps:

- Update your Scaffolding Data Center app to version 8.30.0 or later for Confluence 7 or 8 or version 9.1.0 or later for Confluence 9. We recommend updating to the latest version.
- Install or update the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant app to the current latest version.
- Optionally, enable logs for the Scaffolding data migration.
- Optionally, create a staging Confluence Data Center instance.
- Create your Confluence Cloud site and install the Scaffolding Cloud app.
- Schedule the migration window.

To prepare your Scaffolding data:

- Clean up your content from non-migratable macros.
- Unnest the migratable macros.
- Unrestrict the pages with Scaffolding macros.
- Rework live templates that are based on Scaffolding templates.
- Remove hidden content.

## [Step 2 - Migrate your Scaffolding data](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1356071469)

During this part of the workflow, you:

- Configure the migration tool for the migration.
- Run Confluence and Scaffolding pre-migration checks, and fix reported issues.
- Perform the Confluence and Scaffolding data migration.

## [Step 3 - Convert your Scaffolding macros](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/1356071611)

During the final part of the workflow, you convert your Scaffolding Data Center macros to Scaffolding Cloud macros. You can:

- Perform a bulk conversion of all Scaffolding macros within a space.
- Individually convert the Scaffolding macros on a page.
