I'm using Microsoft Edge.

I have two pages:

  1. This page is created in an older version of Confluence Wiki and migrated over to the newest Confluence Wiki version. This has the issue I need help with.
  2. This page is created using the newest Confluence Wiki version

Page 1:

When I try to copy the Page Tree macro from a Wiki page created using an other version of Confluence but migrated into a newer version of Confluence, it gets copied as an image. Notice that since this page was created from an older version, so it's using the "legacy editor" and it notifies me at the bottom that "This page can be converted to the new editor".

Why is it getting copied as an image when I use the newest Confluence Wiki editor in Edit mode?

Page 2:

If I created a new page, I no longer have an issue copying the Page Tree macro:

Hi @Wu, Peter Welcome to the community!

How do you migrate from one confluence to another?
Are both the sites on the cloud? if both sites are on cloud environment you could use Atlassian cloud-to-cloud migration: Copy Confluence data

Hi @Manoj Gangwar

Thank you for the response and the welcome!

My company did the migration behind the scenes so I don't know the exact details. I just know that:

  • the source site was hosted by the company local server (not on the cloud)
  • and it got migrated to the target site which is now hosted by atlassian.net.

After migration completed, I proceed with the following steps:

  1. I click "Edit" on the target site (which is on atlassian.net)
  2. I highlight the "Page Tree" macro and type "Ctrl + C" to copy the macro.
  3. I create a different, new page in the atlassian.net site and type "Ctrl + V" to paste the "Page Tree" macro. In the new page, it is pasted as an image (picture) and not as a "Page Tree" macro.  My question is how do I get it to paste as a macro instead of an image.

Thank you,

Peter
