Extend support for Confluence Cloud

[heinrich-ulbricht]

This ticket tracks the progress of Confluence Cloud support.

Since Atlassian is pushing new features like crazy, support for those new features will first be missing, then be added at some point. This is happening step by step and driven by customer demand.

Most content that would be migrated from Confluence on-premises can also be migrated from Confluence Cloud - page contents, attachments, and more. New content types are being added.

Clients are using WikiTraccs to migrate from Confluence Cloud to SharePoint Online. I'm gathering feedback from those migrations.

This issue is here to track the state of support for Confluence Cloud

Basic support

The following issues are about basic migration tasks (like migrating page contents):

• Confluence Cloud: "Created by" and "Modified by" are "null" #25
• Confluence Cloud: Check page permission retrieval #26
• Confluence Cloud: Fails to migrate when "/wiki" is missing from source URL #28
• [Feature] Replace cookie-based auth with API token for Confluence Cloud #66
• Confluence Cloud: Transform new text highlight colors #135
• Confluence Cloud: Repair hard link transformation #119
• Confluence Cloud: Adjust link transformation to new content link format #117

What used to work on-prem but stopped working

Here's what used to work on-prem, but stopped working in the cloud, but are no blockers:

• Confluence Cloud: Attachments macro transformation fails, generates placeholder #128
• Confluence Cloud: PDF macro is not converted to PDF link anymore #129
• Confluence Cloud: Table cell color is not converted to color emoji anymore #130
• Confluence Cloud: Repair transformation of Jira issue lists #123
  • note: this now works when using Interactive/Cookie-based authentication
• Confluence Cloud: @-mentions for legacy Confluence user accounts fail to resolve #114
• Confluence Cloud: Encoding of certain emojis/characters is messed up #27
• Confluence Cloud: Comment authors are displayed as user ID, but should be proper names [REST API v2] #143

New Confluence Cloud features to consider

Here are new Confluence Cloud features that WikiTraccs might consider in a future version:

• Confluence Cloud: Transform Forge Panel #137
• Confluence Cloud: Issues when migrating page hierarchy with non-page content types (database, whiteboard) #133
• Confluence Cloud: Migrate whiteboards #115
• Confluence Cloud: Transform Decision List ADF Extension #142
• Confluence Cloud: Migrate databases #116
• Confluence Cloud: Change from v1 API to v2 API [backend, deadline: March 2025] #118
• Confluence Cloud: Add delta migration support for new content types (whiteboard, database, ...) #141
