Converter running

Converter requires page and attachment write permissions for the user running it.

It is recommended to first run the conversion on a copy of production space. Converter is not guaranteed to provide 100% fidelity immediately as it is subject of continuous development.

  1. Create a test environment by importing or cloning the production Confluence server instance. This step is optional but we always recommend running the import on a test instance first.

  2. Install the PlantUML Diagrams for Confluence server add-on.

  3. Rebuild the search index.

  4. Navigate to <confluence_url>/plugins/servlet/plantumlcloud/admin and open the Avono import tab like on the example screenshot below.

  5. To perform the import, click on 'Import' button and wait for the process to finish.

  6. Download the import report .

  7. Perform visual inspection of imported pages to make sure the import process has completed with satisfactory results.

Important notice on conversion of Avono’s macros

Avono’s add-on contains set of Confluence macros. Most users use only plantuml macro but there are several others like flowchart or plantumlrender which use non-standard PlantUML syntax. This conversion procedure will only convert plantuml and linkgraph macros, other macros are currently not supported.

Empty Avono diagrams will not be converted to Stratus Addons’ format and users will need to remove them manually.

Important notice on linkgraph macro

linkgraph macro is currently unable to fetch most recent page relation data due to a regression in Confluence API as reported in CONFCLOUD-76030.
