This page contains information about migrating your Confluence instance to the cloud. Numbered Headings works differently on Data Center and Cloud because of the different integration points these platforms provide. This difference affects the available functionality and the data that is migrated when you move to the cloud.
All global configuration formatting and space-level formatting data are migrated from Data Center to the Cloud. Available from app server version 3.1.3 and cloud version 1.0.8-A.C.
All pages and spaces with numbering are migrated to the cloud without issues but they are no longer numbered.
Page includes in the macro are not supported on the cloud. They work as usual after the migration but without numbered headings.
