Feature difference - Ideation Server vs Ideation Cloud

Migration process 

  • Make sure that the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant (CCMA) is updated to its latest version before proceeding with the migration process.

  • Use the  Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant  app to migrate everything you need from Confluence server to cloud.  Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant explains in detail the step-by-step process to migrate the required content. 

  • Select the spaces and the users that you want to migrate

  • With every migrated space the related Ideation will be migrated along with all its related data (terms, letters, metadata, etc)

  • Each migration has 2 major steps

                1 - Migrate Confluence data (Spaces, pages, users)

                2 - Migrate Ideation data (votes, workflow...)

That's it! A new Ideation space will be migrated.

Differences between server/DC and cloud

The differences revolve mainly around UX & UI and administrative actions. Some macros are displayed differently across three versions. Although the look and feel of the app is a bit different, the main actions (idea creation, challenges, etc…) remain the same. 

Below is the complete list of all the differences, along with screenshots to better portray them . (Include new screenshots)

  • The Archive status is not a separate feature in the cloud version, thus the archive status is integrated in the ideation workflow during the migration.

Additional features on Server and DC

In this section, we will list all the features available only on server and DC. Since these features are yet to be available on cloud, they would not be included in the migration.

Notes

  • vote badge feature is not available in the cloud version, therefore it is not included in the migration
