Planned changes

In this section we'll provide an overview of the changes we intend to make, so you can start thinking how it might impact your app. We'll indicate when a change has been implemented, and in which milestone. 

This release only supports Data Center licenses. If you have a Server license, check out your options for upgrading.

Confluence Data Center connector for Rovo

Status: IN PROGRESS

We’re excited to share that the Confluence Data Center connector for Rovo will soon be available. The connector will facilitate seamless data synchronization from Confluence Data Center to Rovo in Atlassian Cloud, empowering your organization to centralize knowledge across platforms and streamline your team’s workflows.

Users will benefit from a unified view of search results from both Cloud and Confluence Data Center, alongside results from their favorite SaaS tools. Additionally, Rovo Chat will incorporate Confluence Data Center content, providing expert advice and personalized answers based on your organization.

We’ll soon be launching a Beta program for the Confluence Data Center connector. Sign up for the Beta here.

Secure app installations with app signing

Status: DONE

As we communicated in October 2024, in 2025 we’re rolling out app signing. This feature will enable better security and increase customer trust in what they install on their local instances.

If you upload your apps to Atlassian Marketplace, we’ve got you covered. Once Marketplace validates and approves your app, Atlassian will sign and trust all your apps by default; no additional action is needed. App signing affects only new app installations, previously installed apps will not undergo verification.

For details on private builds, check this CDAC post.
