WikiTraccs 2025 Recap
The year 2025 was a busy one for WikiTraccs.
Many improvements were made, most notably concerning output quality, macro coverage, and operational versatility. Pages look nicer in SharePoint and migrations are easier to control.
This post is a recap of the roughly 50 releases shipped in 2025.
1| New SharePoint Page Format (CK5): Styling Got a Serious Upgrade
2025 was the year the new SharePoint page editor format was stable enough to make it the default.
This new format comes with a lot of visual improvements like better handling of text colors and background highlights, improved paragraph spacing, new citation styles, and more.
This is one of those changes where the impact is immediate: migrated pages simply look more “finished”.
2| Page Refinement: Fixing Broken Links After Migration
The reality of real-world migrations showed a pattern:
- You migrate in waves
- Target site mappings change
- Some links will inevitably be wrong at some point in time
In 2025, WikiTraccs gained Page Refinement mode to handle that.
- Log broken links
- Fix broken links (pages, attachments, and more)
If you want the details, I wrote this up here: Making Sure Migrated Links Work.
3| Tables: More Realistic Results (Including Nested Tables)
Tables are excessively used in Confluence and notoriously hard to migrate to SharePoint due to size and formatting limitations. Yet they are one of the biggest quality makers for migrated pages.
In 2025, table transformations got major improvements, including:
- Nested table support (where it makes pages less cluttered)
- Table size optimization using browser automation, so tables end up with more realistic widths in SharePoint
If you’re curious about the reasoning and a before/after example: Table Size Optimization.
4| Macro Coverage Expanded
2025 added support for many popular Confluence apps and macro types.
That includes new and improved transformations across:
- Formatting macro suites (like Mosaic / Aura and friends)
- Excerpt / Include scenarios
- Diagrams (including more draw.io variants)
- Roadmap, Table chart, and other “image-like” macros
Every additional macro that “just works” reduces manual follow-up work.
5| Diagrams & Visual Content: draw.io, Whiteboards, and More
There were a lot of improvements around “image-like” content:
- Draw.io preview image generation and better draw.io handling
- Whiteboard transformation adjustments (Cloud)
- Better resilience around edge cases (missing previews, unusual references, etc.)
6| Cloud & On-Prem Resilience
Boring, but crucial: many improvements that keep migrations running reliably despite:
- API deprecations and API changes (Cloud)
- Authentication edge cases and proxy configurations
- Large instances and performance constraints
Closing Note
That’s the 2025 recap.
Looking ahead, I’ll write another post that picks up from here, covering what’s coming in 2026, which is quite a lot.
