#A few things that catch people out

  • Production customers are on the legacy Connect app.

  • The legacy token import depends on reading a reserved Confluence app property. If that read fails it falls back to a server-side site map that must be populated, otherwise previously connected users appear disconnected after the upgrade.

  • Seven macro parameters exist only for compatibility with the old Connect app. Four of them (userAccountId, origin, option, outputType) are never read and changing them does nothing.
