WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool

📥 DOWNLOAD RELEASE

📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️

📖 HOW TO UPDATE ↗️

In this release:

General Improvements

• new: the Include Page macro is transformed to a link to the corresponding SharePoint page
• improved: removing empty entries from transformed Table of Contents macro

Confluence Cloud - Preparing for Migration of new Content Types

This release adds further support for the new Confluence content types like whiteboard, database, folder, and smart link. Those will not be migrated yet. But a new SharePoint page will already be created, although an empty one. Future releases of WikiTraccs will add migration support for those new content types.

Migrating the new content types to empty pages has already one benefit: all metadata will be present in SharePoint that is required to rebuilt the Confluence page tree. If you use WikiPakk to show the Confluence page tree in SharePoint, this will now show the whole tree, regardless of content type.

Proxy Mode Improvements

Note: Those changes only apply if you have the "Proxy Confluence API calls through browser" setting activated.

• improvement: automated browser is more resilient against accidental closing; will reopen
• fix: relative link issue in proxy mode with cloud site that redirects after logging in
• fix: modified JavaScript to handle missing page body (when page loads slowly)
• fix: adding CORS error handling
• fix: failed external file downloads could cause a lot of retries with way too long timeouts

Updating to .NET 8

Microsoft is deprecating .NET 6 in a couple of weeks, forcing the update to .NET 8. This should make no difference from an end-user point of view.

WikiTraccs 1.20.6 (Prerelease)

WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool

📥 DOWNLOAD RELEASE

📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️

📖 HOW TO UPDATE ↗️

In this release:

New transformation capabilities

• new: page header template support; here's how:
  1. create a SharePoint page template with name migration-template.aspx (that is the file name, not the page title; the title of the template page doesn't matter)
  2. all newly migrated pages will now get the same header as the template page in the same site
  • note: this is a per-site configuration; each site can have their own migration-template.aspx that applies to all pages migrated to the same site; sharing a template across sites is not possible at the moment
• new: macro placeholder customization using transformation templates
  • macro placeholders can now defined via Handlebars template
  • that means you could now get rid of the 🚧 placeholder and define your own placeholder text, for each macro
  • Documentation: Macro Placeholders and Transformation Templates
• new: adding explicit support for language macros from Bitvoodoo's Translation for Confluence

Lots of small improvements (PART 3)

• improved: better handling of certain cases of nested sections, columns, and macros
• improved: support for horribly broken macros in pages; WikiTraccs tries some fixing
• improved: memory management to better support long-running migrations under low-memory conditions
• improved: more diagnostic output for rare "Not a GET query" connection issue
• improved: Draw.io embed macro transformation now supports diagrams embedded from other pages
• fix: nested aui tab macros screw with the "handled macro percent" metric
• fix: "non breaking space" unicode character in page titles breaks attachment links
• fix: images with links were not immediately clickable, but required a page edit first
• removed the "Use M365 PnP Client ID" shortcut button as Microsoft retired the PnP Entra ID application on September 9, 2024

Confluence Cloud

• improved: panel transformation now takes the panel's emoji and color into account

📥 DOWNLOAD LATEST RELEASE

📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️

📖 HOW TO UPDATE ↗️

In this release:

• improved: removing more blocking user interface elements in automated Chrome browser, like the search engine selection dialog

WikiTraccs 1.18.10 (Beta)

WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool

📥 DOWNLOAD RELEASE

📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️

📖 HOW TO UPDATE ↗️

This release contains two major new additions: Waves and the Content ID Selector.

Waves

Waves are used to partition the migration into different chunks. Those chunks can then be

• migrated one after another
• migrated in parallel by multiple WikiTraccs instances

Waves are numbers that you assign to source selectors in the Space Inventory.

When starting a Confluence to SharePoint migration you can tell WikiTraccs which of those waves it should migrate.

This article has all the info: Migration Waves.

Note: WikiTraccs will add a new column WT_Setting_Waves to the Space Inventory list.

Content ID Selector

So far WikiTraccs has two ways of selecting which content it should migrate: by space key and by CQL query.

This release introduces a new way of selecting content to migrate: by content ID. Give a list of page IDs and blog IDs to WikiTraccs and it'll migrate exactly those.

The Content ID Selector allows for flexible selection of your source content. You'll be able to get those IDs from the database (on-premises) or from the space report (cloud), filter as you like, and put the result into WikiTraccs.

This article has all the info: How to migrate Confluence Pages using Content ID Selectors.

Note: WikiTraccs will add a new column WT_Setting_ContentSelectorValue to the Space Inventory list.

Other changes

• improved: better handling of Confluence Cloud base URLs that have more than just /wiki in them
• improved: Selenium proxy mode status panel (in browser) can now be moved down to access controls beneath it
• fix: Selenium proxy mode and the new Confluence connection watcher did not yet work well together
• sharepoint.us URLs are now treated as GCC High environment (note: this changed in the next release); furthermore, a setting has to be configured via appsettings.json:

  {
    "CustomSettings": {
      "CloudEnvironment": "USGovernmentHigh"
    }
  }

  Note: Create a new file appsettings.json, copy above text to this file, and store the file in the folder where the WikiTraccs.GUI.exe is located.
