Why did we move to Confluence Cloud?

• The Confluence Cloud platform provides improved features and ensures a supported platform.

What should I do now that the migration is complete?

• Please log in and review your wiki content. While most content should have migrated successfully, there is a chance that some formatting might look different in the cloud.

Will all of my old links break or need to be updated?

• Links to existing content in wiki.albany.edu will automatically be redirected to the cloud version of the same content after the migration.  ITS recommends updating any external links you may have to wiki content to use the new Cloud URLs.

What is different between the Server and Cloud versions of Confluence?

• See this article comparing the two versions.

What happened to my existing wiki content?

• All content in wiki spaces on wiki.albany.edu was migrated to albany.atlassian.net. 

Where are my “starred” (favorite/saved for later) pages?

• Starred pages were not migrated. You will need to “star” pages again in Confluence Cloud if you wish to use that functionality.
