Bitbucket Application Link replacement after migrating

After migrating from Confluence Data Center to Cloud, you must provide a fallback for the application link to Bitbucket for migrated macros.

  1. Selecting the Bitbucket Edition:

    1. If the referenced repositories are still on your Bitbucket Data Center instance, then select Bitbucket Data Center and provide the public URL to it. You must configure the Data Center settings as well.

    2. If the repositories are now on Bitbucket Cloud, select this option and configure the corresponding Bitbucket Cloud workspace.

  2. The repository must be named the same as before the migration.
