Is your organization relying on Stiltsoft Table Filter and planning a move to Confluence Cloud – whether driven by the Atlassian Data Center end of life or the goal of building a more powerful workspace? With the Aura Migration Hub, you can transition your entire table setup seamlessly, ensuring zero data loss and full preservation of your formatting.
Why Replace Stiltsoft Table Filter with Aura Table Filter?
By migrating from Stiltsoft to Aura, you move to a unified platform that combines advanced data filtering with high-impact visualizations – all within a single Confluence app:
- Feature-Rich Filtering: The Aura Table Filter macro is a direct replacement for the Stiltsoft version. It supports most legacy features while introducing modern capabilities to your Confluence environment.
- Maximum Cost Efficiency: Replace multiple paid apps with the comprehensive Aura Apps Suite. One subscription covers table filtering, charting, formatting, and more — optimizing your software budget without sacrificing functionality.
- Integrated Charting: Aura eliminates the need for standalone charting apps. Built-in support for Pie, Donut, Column, Bar, Line, and Area charts is included directly within the filter macro.
- Version Safety: Every migration creates new page versions, so you can revert to the original content at any time.
How the DC-to-Cloud Migration Path Works for Stiltsoft Table Filter
A direct migration from Stiltsoft Table Filter on Data Center to Aura Table Filter is not possible in a single step. The process requires two stages:
Step 1 – Data Center to Cloud (same app): First, migrate your existing Stiltsoft Table Filter from Data Center to Cloud Stiltsoft using the standard Atlassian Cloud Migration Assistant.
Step 2 – Cloud to Cloud (app consolidation): Once your Stiltsoft Table Filter is running in the Cloud, use the Aura Migration Hub to migrate from Cloud Stiltsoft Table Filter to Aura Table Filter.
The Aura Migration Hub handles Step 2 only and operates exclusively as a Cloud-to-Cloud tool.
How to Migrate from Stiltsoft Table Filter to Aura Table Filter in 7 Steps
The following steps cover the Cloud-to-Cloud consolidation from Stiltsoft Table Filter to Aura Table Filter. Before proceeding, ensure you have already completed Step 1 (DC Stiltsoft to Cloud Stiltsoft via the Atlassian Cloud Migration Assistant). Your complex tables, project trackers, and business-critical spreadsheets remain fully intact throughout this transition:
Step 1: Access the Migration Wizard
Navigate to your Confluence Administration Apps and select “Migrate to Aura Table Filter”. This is your command center for the entire transition.
Step 2: Choose Your Migration Scope
Choose to migrate Selected Spaces to test the workflow, or perform a bulk migration of All Spaces. We recommend testing a single space first before running a full-scale migration.
Step 3: Choose Your Migration Mode
Before committing to changes, use the Dry Run mode. This simulation previews results via logs without modifying your actual pages. Once verified, choose Actual Migration to update all affected pages and create new versions — making it easy to revert if necessary.
Step 4: Select Macros for Migration
Review the detected Stiltsoft macros and their page counts. Select specific macros for migration or migrate everything at once. Supported macros include Table Filter, Chart from Table, Table Excerpt, and Table Excerpt Include.
Step 5: Confirm Terms of Use
Read the linked documentation and confirm you agree to the terms of use.
Step 6: Start the Migration
Click Start migration. Aura automatically converts the content and creates new page versions, ensuring you can revert changes at any time.
Step 7: Review and Finalize
Once finished, download the logs to review successful migrations and identify warnings. You can repeat this process as often as needed for new content or additional spaces.
Key Information for a Seamless Day-One Experience
To ensure your team remains productive from the moment the migration finishes, keep these technical details in mind:
- Preconfigured Filters: Your core table data, project trackers, and spreadsheets are fully retained. However, any preconfigured filters must be manually recreated after migration.
- Macro Synchronization: The Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include macros work in tandem. You must migrate both simultaneously to maintain their relational functionality and data links.
- Nesting Limitations: Macros migrated from Data Center to Cloud are not supported when nested inside other macros, as they rely on the Atlassian Legacy macro format.
- Access and Permissions: The Aura Table Filter app user must be added to the page restrictions of any restricted pages to ensure the migration proceeds without interruption.
- Migration Logs: Always download the logs upon completion. They are essential for identifying successful migrations and flagging any warnings or unsupported chart types that were skipped.
Beyond Table Filters: Consolidate Your Entire Confluence App Stack
Consolidating your Confluence environment doesn’t stop with Aura Table Filter. The Aura Migration Hub is expanding to offer transitions from additional third-party apps to the Aura Apps Suite. By moving to a unified platform, you benefit from a consistent UI, reduced licensing overhead, and better page load times.
- Technical Documentation: Are you currently using solutions from Appfire LaTeX Math or Narva LaTeX Math to render formulas? Learn how to effortlessly migrate to Aura Formatting to ensure high-fidelity mathematical notation across your entire wiki.
- Governance and Compliance: Managing approvals through AppFox Workflows, Appfire Page Approval, Comala Publishing, or Comala Document Management? Create a modern, unified ecosystem by bringing these lifecycles into Aura Workflow.
- Structure and Design: If your page layouts rely on the Refined Macro Toolkit or Appfire Numbered Headings, you can upgrade to Aura Formatting. Our “silent” migration for headings follows ISO standards and improves structure without triggering notification spam.
