#What each one does

#Background

Migrates to

Capable Background, or a native Confluence panel

Support

Converted

As with Mosaic: with an image it becomes a Capable Background; with no image it becomes a plain native panel in the matching colour.

What survives the move

  • Image address, background colour, image position, text alignment and padding

  • Container height, mapped onto large, medium or a custom height

What does not come across

  • Text colour, image opacity and corner rounding, which are set to fixed values regardless of the original

  • Where an Aura colour differed between light and dark mode, only the light-mode colour is kept, so migrated backgrounds can look wrong in dark mode.

  • Aura stores its whole configuration as one encoded blob. If that blob cannot be read the macro is reported unsupported and left untouched rather than migrated with defaults.

#Cards

Migrates to

Capable Cards

Support

Converted

What survives the move

  • Per card: title, body, colour and link

  • Column count, defaulting to 3

What does not come across

  • Images, migrated Aura cards have images switched off

  • Text colour, which is forced to white

  • The on-screen note claims flip cards and hover cards are converted using their title and body only. They are not converted at all, an Aura macro configured as flip or hover cards is reported unsupported and left on the page untouched. This is the clearest contradiction between the shipped wording and the actual behaviour.

#Button

Migrates to

Capable Buttons

Support

Converted

What survives the move

  • Label and link

What does not come across

  • All styling, every migrated button gets the default look

  • Consecutive buttons in one paragraph are grouped into a single Capable Buttons macro, and because that is a block macro the paragraph is split around it.

#LaTeX

Migrates to

Capable LaTeX

Support

Converted

  • Inline formulas become blocks, so the sentence containing the formula is split.

  • A macro with no formula is reported unsupported.

#Progress Bar

Migrates to

Capable Progress Bar

Support

Converted

One Aura macro can hold several bars, and each becomes its own Capable Progress Bar. A bar's label becomes a bold line above the bar rather than a property of the bar itself.

What survives the move

  • Each bar's percentage, colour and the shared height

What does not come across

  • Bar grouping

  • Any overall progress figure

#Status

Migrates to

Native Confluence status lozenge

Support

Converted

  • This migrator is registered twice, so it appears as two identical "Status" rows under Aura. They share one selection, so ticking either appears to tick both, and only one actually runs. Harmless, but confusing.

#Tabs

A Confluence editor showing a macro labelled Ui-tabs containing two grey bars that each read 'This is legacy content and has limited functionality', with a Make edits button on the right of each.
Confluence Cloud wraps a migrated tab set in a legacy content block, which limits what can be edited until the content is rebuilt.

Native beats a macro, where native will do.
