You can perform the migration at any time on a test server (Confluence Server or Data Center) or your sandbox (Confluence Cloud) without any obligation. And even after the migration on your productive instance, the Gliffy diagrams remain an attachment of the Confluence page. The migrated diagram will replace only the macro on the page. So even after the migration, you can access your Gliffy diagrams at any time.

No, you can always test your migration 100% free of cost. Just set up a test instance (in Confluence Data Center or Server) or a sandbox (in Confluence Cloud) to run the migration. The original Gliffy diagrams remain in the Confluence page attachments and the version history. We guide you through the migration with our Migration Guide and always offer personal support if you have any questions. You buy draw.io only when the migration is complete and you are satisfied with the results. The migration is 100% risk-free for you.
