Pre-migration checklist

Before running a migration you will need to have the following setup:

  • Enabled automatic migrations on your installed Better Blogs for Confluence Cloud app. You can do this through Settings > Atlassian Marketplace > Better Blogs Configuration > Select ‘Enable Migrations’

Migrating from Server to Cloud

Follow the detailed step below, to migrate your Server Spaces to Cloud using the CCMA. You will need to progress through the steps:

  1. Assess your apps - Setting Better Blogs as Needed in cloud

  2. Prepare your apps - And Agree to app migration

  3. Migrate your data - At this stage you will need to select the Spaces you wish to migrate. If you have selected Better Blogs as an app to migrate and if the selected spaces have Better Blogs configuration they will be brought across.
