This page outlines the steps to migrate your **Visibility** data from the *Confluence Server* or *Data Center* to the *Confluence Cloud*. 

At the end of this guide, you will have,

- Upgraded Visibility macro to at least version **4.2.2** and or above.
- Understand the macro and [feature differences](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/x/1YeJH) between Visibility for Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud.
- Perform the migration using the Confluence Cloud Migration Tool or through Space Exports.
- Check and re-configure your Visibility data in Confluence Cloud.

Depending on the size of your Confluence data, the migration process may take a few hours to complete.

# Steps to Migrate Your Data 

### Step 1 - Plan out your migration

Before you start, consider the following:

- Understand the macro and [feature differences](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/x/1YeJH) between Visibility for Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud.
  - Understand the effects of **Show if** /** Hide if** macros using parameters not available in the Cloud.
  - Understand the effects of **Show if / Hide if** macros containing unavailable elements in the Cloud.
- Understand how many Visibility macros are on your site
  - You can easily find the location of all your Visibility macros by going to **Confluence Admin > Macro Usage > Search for ‘Visibility.’**
- Allocate time for a test migration to understand the steps required to migrate data using the [Atlassian migration tool](https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/confluence-cloud-migration-assistant/?__hstc=72543820.da883bb038bc3c095dfe1fb4479c855b.1606481108986.1624860673982.1624881903275.358&__hssc=72543820.11.1624881903275&__hsfp=1537623729) (CCMA)

### Step 2 - Migrate your site using the Confluence Cloud Migration tool

- [Atlassian migration tool](https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/confluence-cloud-migration-assistant/?__hstc=72543820.da883bb038bc3c095dfe1fb4479c855b.1606481108986.1624860673982.1624881903275.358&__hssc=72543820.11.1624881903275&__hsfp=1537623729) (CCMA) will migrate all Visibility macro data with your pages.
- Make sure you mark the app as **Needed in the Cloud.**

### Step 3 - Check if your data are all intact
