If you've ever tried to switch from one LaTeX math app to another in Confluence, you know the pain. Hundreds of pages, thousands of equations, all locked into a vendor-specific format. Manually re-entering every formula is not an option.
That's why we built Migration Support directly into LaTeX Math for Confluence.
Teams across engineering, academia, and finance rely on LaTeX equations in their Confluence documentation. But what happens when your current math app doesn't cut it anymore? Maybe the rendering is slow. Maybe it lacks features you need. Maybe the pricing changed.
Whatever the reason, you're stuck. Your formulas are embedded in a proprietary macro format, scattered across dozens of spaces and hundreds of pages. Moving to a new app means either:
Neither is acceptable.
LaTeX Math for Confluence now includes a built-in migration tool that automatically finds, converts, and replaces equations from other LaTeX math apps across your entire Confluence instance.
Here's how it works:
Open the migration tab in the app's configuration settings. Select the app you're migrating from. We currently support:
Need to migrate from an app not on the list? The Advanced tab lets you enter any macro name manually.
Select a Confluence space to scan, or search across your entire instance. The tool uses Confluence's query language under the hood to find every page that contains equations from your source app.
Results are displayed in a clear table showing the page title, space, and last modified date so you know exactly what you're working with.
Select the pages you want to migrate and hit the button. The tool handles the rest:
Every migration is recorded in the page's version history, so you always have a clear audit trail.
Different apps store LaTeX in wildly different ways. Some use XML parameters, others use rich text bodies, others use ADF extensions. Some wrap formulas in CDATA sections, others encode them as plain parameters.
Our migration engine understands all of these formats. It extracts your LaTeX from whatever structure the source app used and converts it cleanly.
Migration doesn't delete your original content. Confluence's version history means you can always roll back any page to its pre-migration state. The tool also reports success and failure counts for every batch, so you know immediately if something needs attention.
Whether you have 10 pages or 10,000, the migration tool handles pagination and batch processing. It works through your pages methodically, updating each one and moving on, without overwhelming the Confluence API.
We didn't build this for a demo. We built it because real users asked for it. Teams running thousands of equations across enterprise Confluence instances need a way to switch apps without losing a week of productivity.
For power users and admins dealing with custom or less common apps, the Advanced tab offers full control:
Migration support is available now in LaTeX Math for Confluence. Open your app configuration, navigate to the "Migrate from other apps" tab, and run your first search. You'll see exactly how many equations you can migrate before committing to anything.
No manual work. No lost formulas. No downtime.
Your equations deserve better. Move them in minutes, not months.
LaTeX Math for Confluence supports both KaTeX and MathJax rendering, inline and block equations, chemical formulas, physics notation, and more. Available on the Atlassian Marketplace.
