Your Guide to Migrate Your Formulas from Narva LaTeX Math to Aura Formatting in Confluence Cloud
Migrate your formulas from Narva LaTeX Math to Aura Formatting in Confluence Cloud – step-by-step guide.
Technical documentation demands absolute accuracy – there is no room for error when complex mathematical formulas are involved. If your organization is running LaTeX Math by Narva in Confluence, the migration to Cloud is the right moment to consolidate your technical macros into the Aura Apps Suite.
The Aura Migration Hub supports a fully automated, zero-loss transition from Narva LaTeX Math to Aura Formatting. Your equations move intact, every conversion is reversible, and detailed logs give you full auditability.
What You Gain by Moving Your Formulas to Aura Formatting
Moving from Narva to Aura is more than a vendor switch. It simplifies your team’s daily workflow by bringing technical documentation under one roof — eliminating the friction of fragmented apps and disparate vendors.
Integrated Performance: Aura renders your formulas within the same ecosystem as your advanced tables, page layouts, and design macros. One suite instead of multiple standalone apps.
Automatic Conversion: The Aura Migration Hub converts existing Narva LaTeX macros automatically. Your documentation remains readable and accurate without manual rework.
Version Safety: Every migration creates new page versions. You can revert to the original Narva-based content at any time if needed.
Full Auditability: Detailed logs are generated for every migration run, providing a clear record of which pages were updated and flagging any manual follow-ups.
Prerequisites: Getting Narva LaTeX Math Ready for Cloud
The Aura Migration Hub operates exclusively in Confluence Cloud. If you are still running LaTeX Math by Narva on Data Center, you first need to migrate the app to its Cloud version using the Atlassian Cloud Migration Assistant. A direct jump from Data Center to Aura Formatting is not possible — the DC-to-Cloud step must happen first.
Once LaTeX Math by Narva is running in Confluence Cloud, you can proceed with the Aura migration below.
How to Migrate Narva LaTeX Math to Aura Formatting in 8 Steps
Every bracket and symbol matters in technical documentation. The Aura Migration Hub provides a wizard-driven experience specifically designed for a safe transition from Narva. Follow these 8 steps to move your LaTeX content with full confidence:
Step 1: Launch the Aura Migration Hub
Open the Confluence Administration, navigate to Apps, then select Aura Migration Hub. This is your central entry point for all supported migrations.
Step 2: Select the Narva LaTeX Math Tile
Click the LaTeX Math (by Narva) tile to open the dedicated migration view for all Narva LaTeX macros eligible for conversion.
Step 3: Define Your Migration Scope
Choose whether to migrate selected spaces or all spaces in your instance. For your first migration, we recommend starting with a single test space to validate the workflow.
Step 4: Run a Dry Run First
Before executing the actual migration, select Dry Run. This simulates the entire process without modifying any pages and generates preview logs so you can verify the expected outcome.
Step 5: Review the Macro Analysis
After selecting your spaces, the Migration Hub automatically displays how many pages contain Narva LaTeX Math macros. Supported macros include Narva LaTeX Math Inline, Narva LaTeX Math Block, and Narva LaTeX Math Block L. Review the results and select the macros you want to migrate – or migrate everything at once.
Step 6: Confirm Terms and Guardrails
Read the migration documentation and confirm the terms of use. These describe how the conversion works and what to consider before starting.
Step 7: Start the Migration
Click Start migration to begin the process. Aura handles all conversion steps automatically and creates new page versions so you can always revert back if needed.
Step 8: Download and Review Your Logs
Once the migration completes, download the logs to review warnings or errors. The logs detail what was migrated, where macros were found, and whether manual follow-up is required. You can repeat the process at any time — for example, after content updates or when additional spaces are ready.
Done with Narva? Other Migration Paths in the Aura Migration Hub
The Aura Migration Hub serves as your command center for streamlining your entire Confluence app stack. Beyond Narva LaTeX Math, you can consolidate:
Data and Visualization: Move from Stiltsoft Table Filter to Aura Table Filter for integrated charting and modern filtering while preserving your spreadsheets.
Structure and Design: Replace the Refined Macro Toolkit or Appfire Numbered Headings with Aura Formatting. The headings migration is silent — it follows ISO standards and creates no notification spam.
Governance and Workflows: Bring document lifecycles from AppFox Workflows, Appfire Page Approval, or Comala Document Management into Aura Workflow for a unified compliance ecosystem.
Consolidated Math: If you also use Appfire LaTeX Math, migrate all your formulas to the same Aura framework for consistency across your entire wiki.
