Install the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant app and read the  documentation . Get a maintenance window scheduled for your Confluence Data Center. Enable migration logs  to see the start, progress, and completion of migration and summary report.  Have a  Confluence Cloud  instance ready. If you haven’t already done so, sign up for your cloud site. Then, decide whether you want to conduct your test on a trial site or a production site. Install your Confluence Cloud with  Scaffolding Cloud . On this page: 1. Prepare the migration tool DO NOT skip this step!  Doing so will only migrate your   Scaffolding structure  and Live Template macros, but not the  Scaffolding data . Navigate to the  Migration Assistant home  page.

Scroll down to the  Apps  >  App vendor checks  section and click  View app vendor checks . In the  App vendor checks  dialog, expand the  Scaffolding  section. If there are warning messages, download the reports and resolve the issues listed in the CSV files to ensure that your Scaffolding data will be migrated successfully. The    Repeating data macros check  report lists the pages that contain Repeating Data macros nested with unsupported macros. Update each page to ensure that the Repeating Data macros are nested with supported Scaffolding macros only. For details, see the  Feature differences  document.  The    Nested macros check  report lists the pages the pages with nested Scaffolding macros. Update each page to ensure that the Repeating Data macros are nested with migratable Scaffolding macros only. Update each page to ensure that the Scaffolding macros are at the root level of your page structure.  The app vendor checks run only through the first two levels of the page structure. If a Scaffolding macro is nested at the third level or deeper, it will not be included in the app vendor check reports. Click  Refresh all  to run the pre-migration check again. If the warning is resolved successfully, the check displays a green tick. Click  Continue  and click  Review Migration . In the  Review your migration  dialog, click  Run now . The new migration process is saved to your  Migrations dashboard , where you can view the progress and details of all your migrations. 3. Verify the migration You need to make sure that the  app data migration  is successful. On the  Migration dashboard , select the  View Details  action for your migration.  Wait until you see a   status with a message about the next action steps. If the status is different or there is no message displayed, it means that migration has failed. Contact  support  for assistance. Next Steps Proceed to   .
