Convert legacy editor pages in all spaces
Coming soon: Deprecation of the legacy editor
In June 2025, Atlassian announced the deprecation of the legacy editor. This will be a phased process beginning in January 2026. Find out more in the FAQ article.
When the process is complete in April 2026, all editing will take place in the cloud editor. Until then, you will continue to have the option to update pages in the legacy editor. However, there are some downsides to continuing to use the legacy editor:
No bugs fixed unless it's a major incident.
No enhancements.
Confluence admins can enable auto-conversion of all legacy pages within Confluence to the new editor.
When page auto-conversion is turned on for the instance, users will see a banner notification at the top of each legacy page when they are in edit mode. The page will be previewed with new editor formatting, but won’t change until the page is updated.
To enable auto-conversion of pages across Confluence:
Select the wheel icon () in the top-right corner to open Confluence administration.
Find Settings > Configuration in the left-hand navigation.
Select General configuration.
Find Convert pages automatically and check Enable.
Select Save.
If auto-conversion is enabled, eligible pages will be converted to the cloud editor when someone views the page. You will be able to revert to the legacy version in More actions () menu. Select Revert to legacy editor.
