Confluence Cloud legacy editor is fully deprecated from April 2026
Confluence Cloud legacy editor deprecation phases run January-April 2026. Legacy pages auto-convert and can no longer revert to legacy.
Product
Confluence Cloud
Announced
30 June 2025
Effective from
21 January 2026
Completes
1 April 2026
Who is affected
Confluence Cloud sites with pages or templates created in the legacy editor, especially content migrated from Server or Data Center.
Admin roles to involve: Confluence admin, Space admin, Knowledge management owner
Why no action is required
No specific administrator action is required for most customers: Atlassian says eligible legacy pages are automatically converted to the cloud editor during the deprecation timeline. Confluence and space admins may still review legacy-content CSV exports and unsupported macro risk if they want extra transition assurance before the April 1, 2026 full deprecation.
What happens if this is ignored
Legacy content is converted automatically; unsupported portions may remain viewable but not editable, and teams lose the option to revert pages back to the legacy editor.
