Get the most out of your Confluence Cloud migration with these handy tools and apps.
Migrating from Confluence Server or Data Center (DC) to Cloud is a significant undertaking, and often reveals how much your teams rely on Marketplace apps, custom content, and internal workarounds.
At Kolekti, we offer a range of apps that help structure content, guide users, and surface work across Confluence. When used alongside Atlassian's migration tools, they provide a more complete and efficient way to move to Confluence Cloud and improve the experience once you get there.
1. Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant (CCMA)

The challenge: Migration can be complex and daunting. The Migration Assistant provides the foundation of a successful Cloud migration, offering built-in checks and guided workflows.
What it does:
- Migrates spaces, users, and groups
- Assesses app compatibility
- Helps you plan, test, and validate the move
đź“ť Please note: To use CCMA, your instance must be on Confluence Server/Data Center version 6.15.1 or higher.
2. Panorama for Confluence
Clean up your post-migration Confluence pages and spaces
The challenge: Even if you cleaned up pre-migration, Confluence Cloud instances can be more bloated with unnecessary content than expected, which can quickly eat into your data storage.
What it does:
- Gives you a central overview of every space and its content
- Helps you find and manage outdated Confluence pages
- Allows you to delete, archive, change labels, move pages, edit restrictions, and more in bulk
💡 Good to know: Panorama allows you to manage up to 200 pages at a time - double the limit of Confluence Cloud’s native content manager.
3. Mosaic: Content Formatting Macros & Templates
A smarter way to organise and present your Confluence content
The challenge: Post-migration users and teams need an easier way to format legacy content, particularly with deprecated macros and no HTML or CSS support.
What it does:
What it does:
- Replicates elements created with CSS and HTML in Server/DC
- Gives users a library of engaging templates to build new pages in seconds
- Helps non-technical users create content at the click of a button
With Mosaic, users can create visually engaging and easy-to-navigate Cloud pages in minutes, with no prior design or coding knowledge needed.

5. Atlassian Cloud Migration Guide
A strategic planning tool to clarify the ins and outs of migration
Migration can be scary and overwhelming, and it's hard to know where to begin. Thankfully, Atlassian's Cloud Migration Guide outlines the process from start to finish.
What it does:
- Explains phased migrations, risks, and project planning
- Clarifies migration types (such as lift-and-shift or phased)
- Useful for aligning internal teams, stakeholders, and governance needs
Conclusion
Migrating to Confluence Cloud isn't just about moving content. It also gives you an opportunity to improve usability, structure, and team efficiency. Tools like CCMA move content to the cloud, but Kolekti apps such as Mosaic and Panorama help you make the most of it once you’re there.
