Of course, it seems only fitting to use Confluence to share information about your Confluence migration. However, we know Confluence isn't the only tool you count on.

• If your teams typically look for internal information in Confluence – great! Follow the instructions below.
• If not, no biggie. Adapt the instructions below to fit whatever platform you use to deliver information to your users.

1. Create a new Confluence page in your Server/Data Center instance. 📄
2. Give your new page a snazzy title. Here are some ideas: 💡
   • Cloud Migration Hub: Confluence
   • Confluence Cloud Migration Hub
3. Copy + paste the template below 👇 into your new page.
   • If needed, change the table settings from Fixed Width to Responsive.
4. Remove any irrelevant sections. ✂️
5. Replace all italicized/bolded text with your own details. ✍️
6. Publish your page. Be sure the right teams have access to view it! 🔓
7. Share your new Confluence Migration Hub with your teams. 📬
8. Link all future internal outreaches to your hub. 🔗
9. Sit back and appreciate all the repeat questions you just saved yourself. 😉
