This means that you if you use Refined macros on Server/DC, you need to install Refined Toolkit on your Cloud instance. If you don’t, the migrated macros will show as Unknown macro on your Cloud pages.

When you migrate to Cloud, you edit your pages in Confluence Cloud’s legacy editor. This editor is similar to the one you are 're used to from Server/DC. While Atlassian recommends you to convert your pages to the new editor, this may pose problems with some of your migrated macros.

...

  1. On the published page, copy the content from the macros.

  2. Go into editing mode and convert the page to the new editor.

  3. In the new editor, paste the content back in where the macro used to be.

We are 're aware that neither option is ideal, and we are 're in contact with Atlassian to solve this. Note that we do recommend you to move to the new editor over time, despite the hassle of manual work. Although migrated macros usually show on the legacy editor pages at first (if you have Refined Toolkit installed), they may still break eventually if Atlassian makes changes to the legacy editor.
