How to export Atlassian project (jira cloud+confluence cloud)?

[Maria Nurminskaya]

Hello! Could you please help me with the question: How to export Atlassian project (jira cloud+confluence cloud)?

We have 5 projects in our jira account and would like to export the one out of 5, so that it can be imported to the another jira cloud account. How to do it?

We've already tried to use Backup Manager, but it give opportunity to export all the projects in one piece. We need to export only one project.

Hey @Maria Nurminskaya !

For Confluence, you can only export an individual space export following these steps https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/ but you can't export an individual project.

Regarding Jira, you can indeed only export a full Backup Manager that will generate a backup for all projects.

In this case, some alternatives would be:

• Generate a full backup, restore this to a new cloud site, delete unwanted projects and generate a new backup only with the desired project but the main disadvantage would be that you cant import this to the new cloud site (because there is no project import feature and restoring the full backup will delete all existing date)  OR
• Sign up for Atlassian Cloud to Cloud migration tooling EAP here https://surveys.atlassian.com/jfe/form/SV_6SAs9OX0eAbGk5f that will help you migrate one project from the current cloud site to a new cloud site
• There is also a third option as described here https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/merge-multiple-instances-of-jira-cloud-779160767.html but that will be more complex

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot, Ramona! I chose the 1st variant for jira and it worked.

A simple option could be (if fit for purpose), simply export the issues from the relevant project to CSV (all fields) and import that content into a new destination location project. manually create any Components and Versions/Releases required in the destination project prior to the import. Align or enhance workflows and schemes as required.

Although a little convoluted, you could find for such a small number of projects/project, this is the lower stress option.

Just a thought  🤔
