Migrate from Approvals for Confluence

#Page Approval

The migrator transfers your existing page-level approval data from the AppFox Approvals app to Capable Approval. This includes:

  • Approval status - pending, approved, or rejected states are preserved

  • Approvers list - all assigned approvers and their individual statuses are carried over

  • Expiry settings - both date-based and interval-based expiry configurations are migrated

  • Quorum requirements - minimum approver thresholds are preserved

  • History - approval events and comments are migrated to Capable's history format

Follow the instructions on Using the migration assistant to run the migrator.

#What the migrator does

  • Fetches existing approval data from Confluence page properties via the API

  • Maps AppFox data structures (approval status, approvers, expiry, history) to the Capable Approval format

  • Creates or updates the Capable Approval entity for each page

  • Validates that the user running the migration has space admin permissions
