Team Calendar cloud migration

[Jonathan Vaughan]

When migrating from confluence server to cloud, what's the best way to deal with existing calendars? 

[Shannon Spaniol]

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

The best way to migrate your calendars is to recreate them in Confluence Cloud using the .ics URL.

• Step 1: Export Team Calendars Content to Other Calendars
• Step 2: Create, Add, and Edit Calendars > Add Other Calendars

Essentially, you'll export your calendars to .ics format, and then import them again. However, I do want you to be aware of a current bug that I ran into myself when doing this for my own instance: 

• CONFCLOUD-49097 Custom event types after import becomes default events

If your calendar contains any custom event types, which it likely does, then these will be converted to default events. You will need to manually recreate your custom event types and then apply these once again to your events. If you have recurring events then please make sure to modify all events and not just the single event, and it should apply the change to each recurring day.

Do let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

Note that CONFCLOUD-49097 custom event types has now been fixed! 

The work was logged here CONFCLOUD-68823 - ICS Import of a Team Calendar with multiple event types results in a calendar with just one event type 

This issue is now fixed. When importing a calendar with custom event types, the event types are now retained after import.
