Join the Early Access Program (EAP) for Migration of Archived Issues

[#1]

Hello Atlassian Community,

I'm Shraddha, product manager for Jira Migrations. We are thrilled to announce a key milestone in our efforts to make cloud migrations more seamless and efficient - the launch of our Early Access Program (EAP) for migrating archived issues from Jira Server to Cloud.

Gone are the days when you had to leave your archived issues behind or use workarounds to migrate them to the cloud. We understand the importance of preserving historical data, and with this feature, you can now migrate your archived issues natively in the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA), maintaining their status as archived in the cloud.

The goal of the EAP is to offer our community the opportunity to get access and provide feedback on the new feature of migrating archived issues from server to cloud.

What to Expect from Migration of Archived Issues

To ensure you have a clear understanding of what this feature will support at launch, the following table outlines what components will and will not be migrated during the EAP:

Components Migrated	Components not migrated
Comments Attachments Worklog History Notification Scheme Links/URLs Linked Issues	Global Permissions Project permissions associated with archived issues Priority schemes for archived project

Archiving issues on the cloud is an exclusive feature available only to Atlassian Cloud Premium subscribers, accessible via APIs. Learn more about issue archival on the cloud through this announcement.

Main Capabilities of Archived Issues Migration:

• Seamless Migration: Effortlessly migrates archived issues while preserving their status.

• Preservation of change logs: Maintains integrity of issue history during the migration of change logs for archived issues.

• Migration of notification scheme: Ensures all users continue to receive all relevant notifications post-migration.
