Cloud to cloud migration

Overview

The Comala Document Family of Apps for Confluence Cloud supports the migration of all workflow data, including document activity, when spaces are moved from one Confluence Cloud space to another or to a different Confluence Cloud site.

Atlassian provides guides to support Cloud-to-Cloud migration or the export and import of Confluence content from one cloud site to another:

When migrating your content or importing a space to a different Confluence Cloud site instance, any apps installed in the source site are not included.

After you have imported your data, you must install the Comala Document Management Family app.

Workflow data and initialization

The approval workflow event and actions history (document activity) are included for each page when using either Confluence Cloud-to-cloud migration or the Confluence space import process.

When a workflow is added and applied, the document activity is available in the destination space and accessible in the document activity report for each page.

We recommend importing each space one at a time.

Ensure the imported documents and any added workflow are updated for each imported space in your new site with the required workflow state:

For an approval applied at the space level:

Choose the space settings>Comala Document Approval for the installed Comala app
Enable the space approval workflow
Reindex the space

After enabling the space workflow, you can initialize the workflow on each document in each space to a specific state.

If you are using a page approval workflow, this workflow needs to be added manually to each document.
