We’re migrating Approvals for Confluence Cloud to Atlassian’s Forge platform. This will allow us to deliver more value to our customers more quickly. We’re excited by the potential that this move to Forge will unlock!
During the migration, some aspects of the app will be moved, changed, or removed. You can keep track of any changes we’re making on this page.
The Forge migration work is officially commenced by version 3.0.0 of the app, which requires a manual update by admins.
Please update Approvals Cloud to at least v3.0.0 at the earliest convenience to ensure you are up-to-date with the latest developments of the app.
