Is this page a work-in-progress, or has it been officially approved? In fast-moving teams, a clear Confluence approval workflow is mission-critical. When everyone knows exactly where a document stands, execution happens faster and with more confidence. Efficiency reaches a new level when your workflow management is integrated directly into your Confluence pages. That is why the Aura Apps Suite includes powerful, native Workflows designed to optimize your workspace and eliminate ambiguity.
If your organization has been managing page approvals and status tracking through AppFox Workflows, transitioning to the Aura Workflow inside the Aura Apps Suite is now easier than ever. The Aura Migration Hub handles the heavy lifting – automatically transferring your existing workflow structures so you can consolidate your Confluence toolkit without losing a single configuration.
This guide walks you through the complete migration path: from AppFox Workflows on Data Center all the way to Aura Workflow on Confluence Cloud.
Important: Two-Step Migration Path A direct migration from AppFox Workflows on Data Center to Aura Workflow is not possible in a single step. The migration follows a two-step process:
Step 1 – DC → Cloud (same app): First, migrate your existing AppFox Workflows from Data Center to its Cloud version using the Atlassian Cloud Migration Assistant.
Step 2 – Cloud → Cloud (consolidation): Once AppFox Workflows is running in the Cloud, use the Aura Migration Hub to migrate from Cloud AppFox Workflows to Aura Workflow.
The Aura Migration Hub handles Step 2 only and operates exclusively Cloud-to-Cloud.
Why Teams Are Switching Their Confluence Workflow Management to Aura
Transitioning your AppFox workflows to Aura upgrades your entire Confluence workflow management approach. By centralizing your toolkit, you achieve:
- Cost Efficiency: Replace multiple standalone paid apps with the comprehensive Aura Apps Suite and reduce your Atlassian Marketplace licensing spend in one move.
- Version Safety: The Aura Migration Hub automatically creates new page versions during migration, so you can revert any change at any point – your data integrity is never at risk.
- Comprehensive Audit Logs: After migration completes, download detailed logs that document every successful update and flag any items requiring manual follow-up.
- Unified Experience: Manage your workflows, tables, and page formatting inside one consistent, modern UI – no more context switching between fragmented apps.
How to Migrate from AppFox Workflows to Aura – Step by Step
The Aura Migration Hub provides a transparent, wizard-driven experience designed to ensure a flawless transition. But you don’t have to navigate this move alone. To ensure your team hits the ground running with zero downtime, we support your Confluence workflow migration with this specialized 3-step success plan:
Step 1: Access the Hub
Open Confluence Administration, navigate to Apps, and select Aura Migration Hub. This is your central command center for all supported app migrations. Before starting, confirm that your AppFox Workflows data has already been migrated to Confluence Cloud (see the two-step path above).
Step 2: Define the Scope
Select AppFox Workflows as the source app. Review the list of pages and workflows included in the migration. You can filter by space or page to control exactly what gets moved – ensuring a targeted, low-risk transition.
Step 3: Execute and Finalize
Schedule the pre-migration call.
