It covers choosing YouTrack Cloud vs Server, using import wizards for Jira/Confluence/JSM data, recreating boards/dashboards/automations manually, replacing Atlassian Marketplace apps, and includes two customer migration case studies (MSP AG and Fullworks) plus links to consulting partners and a migration whitepaper. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### When does Atlassian end support for Data Center products? Atlassian ends support for Data Center products on March 28, 2029, following its announcement suspending sales of those products. After that date, impacted products become read-only with no further updates or security fixes, increasing compliance risk for organizations that keep running them without migrating to another platform. _Teams planning an Atlassian exit track deprecation timelines like this one on daily.dev._ ### What data does the Jira import wizard migrate into YouTrack automatically? The Jira import wizard automatically migrates projects, users and their group memberships, issues with custom fields, comments, attachments and history data, links between issues, labels (converted to tags), and logged work time including Jira native time tracking and Tempo work log data. Boards, dashboards, reports, and automations are not migrated automatically and need manual recreation. _Developers scoping a Jira to YouTrack move can weigh these tradeoffs via daily.dev._ ### How does Atlassian's new AI data policy affect Jira and Confluence customers? As of August 17, 2026, Atlassian may use de-identified and aggregated customer data to improve its AI experiences, with opt-out availability varying by plan. A full opt-out is only available on the Enterprise plan, meaning customers on lower-tier plans must upgrade if they want to prevent their data from being used this way. _Organizations weighing data-governance tradeoffs across SaaS tools follow policy shifts like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Join our live webinars: Migrating from Atlassian to YouTrack](https://daily.dev/posts/join-our-live-webinars-migrating-from-atlassian-to-youtrack-jzphxqryt) · JetBrains · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [YouTrack 2026 Roadmap](https://daily.dev/posts/youtrack-2026-roadmap-m4zidorrt) · JetBrains · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Jira Data Center EOL: What Operational Platform Builders Should Do Now](https://daily.dev/posts/jira-data-center-eol-what-operational-platform-builders-should-do-now-dmaouxyhv) · Directus · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Your next team member might already be in Jira](https://daily.dev/posts/your-next-team-member-might-already-be-in-jira-duxniigqn) · TechCentral · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Introducing Jira Planner](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-jira-planner-jjllejnmr) · Atlassian · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#tech-news](https://daily.dev/tags/tech-news), [#project-management](https://daily.dev/tags/project-management), [#jira](https://daily.dev/tags/jira) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-migrate-from-atlassian-jira-and-confluence-to-youtrack-expert-guide-jdl59ekky) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"How to Migrate From Atlassian Jira and Confluence to YouTrack: Expert Guide","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-migrate-from-atlassian-jira-and-confluence-to-youtrack-expert-guide-jdl59ekky","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-migrate-from-atlassian-jira-and-confluence-to-youtrack-expert-guide-jdl59ekky"},"datePublished":"2026-08-19T11:17:49.184Z","dateModified":"2026-08-24T07:00:13.891Z","description":"JetBrains lays out a step-by-step guide for migrating from Atlassian Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management to YouTrack, prompted by Atlassian...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/56ce55f1b2d595596a72cf9b4a6b4300?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/56ce55f1b2d595596a72cf9b4a6b4300?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"JetBrains","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"JetBrains","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/53ecf0c676f34b3896ee109609d91efa","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-migrate-from-atlassian-jira-and-confluence-to-youtrack-expert-guide-jdl59ekky","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"tech-news,project-management,jira","timeRequired":"PT15M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"JetBrains","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"How to Migrate From Atlassian Jira and Confluence to YouTrack: Expert Guide"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-migrate-from-atlassian-jira-and-confluence-to-youtrack-expert-guide-jdl59ekky#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"When does Atlassian end support for Data Center products?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Atlassian ends support for Data Center products on March 28, 2029, following its announcement suspending sales of those products.
