Cannot Locate Confluence Cloud End of Support Announcements
Asked by Charisma Riley:

I found this document for Confluence Server on-premises, but would like to locate the same document for cloud. Can anyone help me?

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/end-of-support-announcements-for-confluence-210239673.html>

Thanks, in advance.

body: [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454), I am not asking for "End-Of-Life" for Cloud. I am asking for the list of deprecated (i.e., marked for removal) and removed features/functionality. That's what \*this\* list I added is, but for Server on-premises. I would like the same list for Cloud, rather than having to search one-by-one through the support documentation.

Examples:

[Multimedia Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/multimedia-macro-724765227.html "Multimedia Macro") (deprecated - Cloud)  
[Space Attachments Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Space+Attachments+Macro "Space Attachments Macro") (deprecated - Cloud)  
[Search Results Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Search+Results+Macro "Search Results Macro") (deprecated - Cloud)  
[Space Details Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Space+Details+Macro "Space Details Macro") (deprecated - Cloud)  
[Navigation Map Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/navigation-map-macro-724765228.html "Navigation Map Macro") (deprecated - Cloud)  
Highlighting (deprecated - Cloud)  
Online/offline presence (deprecated - Cloud)  
Explicit Image Sizing (removed - Cloud)  
etc. . .

Why make this fully visible in a centralized location for on-premises but not cloud??

body: Nope, that was not what you asked for.

The answer remains the same though - Cloud rolls on, it does not end-of-life anything, just changes in features.


author: Charisma Riley
body: It \*is\* what I asked for actually. The document I posted is \*called\* "End of Support" but from what I read of it, simply lists features that are no longer present in Confluence Server. I want this list for Confluence Cloud, and I'm not sure why you're so certain why a server hosted on Atlassian's server doesn't deserve to have this list because they \*do\* still release one-by-one announcements, just like for server on-premises. I just want a solid list in one location instead of having to hunt for each item; it should not be this big mystery what is being changed in Cloud vs what is being changed in on-premises. Both situations still leave companies with our without features and are important to know. A single list of this should exist for cloud, as well. If there is another document where these are listed, Ib would like a link. The answer "only server on-premises has changes that matter and so only on-premises installations need to know what they are" would be rather ridiculous, and frankly, insulting to cloud customers.

"End-of-Life" is completely different even in Atlassian's own documentation, and is discussed as such articles like these which are aptly called, "Health Check: Confluence End of Life," and, "Atlassian Support End of Life Policy." There are probably others, but those are what I had found prior to posting this in the first place.

And I don't know what it matters? I want the same features change list that on-premises gets and it shouldn't be rocket surgery to provide it. Instead I must look through all the announcements and compile my own. So frustrating!
