Does URLs automatically convert to an Smart URL when migrating from DataCenter To Cloud

[Stephanie Hurt]

We are miggrating from datacenter to Cloud.  Will the existing URLS automatically become Smartlinks when placed in the Cloud environment.

Hi, @Stephanie Hurt! 👋

After migrating, your instances start living under different URLs. Any links from other instances (Jira or Confluence) would still reference the old URLs, which either no longer work or represent the pre-migration instances.

Such links aren’t automatically updated after migration, especially if they were pasted by users into comments or descriptions as URLs.

To fix such links, you need to complete a post-migration task that updates all broken links to their new destinations.
