Both editions use very similar designs and share the same front-end code.

There are a few diffrences in storage location (include goal and persona) due to the absolutely different architecture between Server and Cloud.

Limitation

According to our research, Jira Migration dose not migrate all data from server because there are some performance related issues which may make migration process takes too long time.

Goal link: Link epic to goal
