August 2025 focused on cloud-migration readiness for Draw.io within Confluence environments and branding accuracy. Delivered migration guidance and updated documentation for migrating from Confluence Data Center/Server to Confluence Cloud, including limitations, recommended use cases, updated tool-run steps, and a critical note to stop the Synchrony service. Fixed a branding/legal detail by updating the footer copyright year to 2025.
