Convert Word documents to confluence pages discontinued?

Robert E_ Schneider March 13, 2023

Hi,

https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf61/import-a-word-document-into-confluence-877187817.html

claims that there is an "Import Word Document" option in the 3-dot-menu. That used to be true for a while. Then, for some time, that option was moved to a sub-menu (I believe that the name of that sub-menu was "Extended Information" or something like that).

Today I want to import another Word document but I cannot find the option any more.

There is is a menu option Convert files to Confluence pages. But when I click that, I get a window with the error message "App is not responding. Wait or cancel?".

Naturally there is no explanation about what went wrong or how the situation can be corrected.

Has that function been discontinued? Or moved to some other weird place, without adapting the documentation, as quite usual?

I do not want to connect the document so that you can use Word to edit or display the document (which apparently is the function of that "Office connector" app). I just want to convert the Word document to a clean, normal Confluence page.

Guten Morgen Robert,

In der Cloud ist die Funktionalität von Importen (Word/OneDrive) nun in Seitenerstellung/-bearbeitung vorhanden. 

Seite erstellen - rechter Randbalken - Funktionen VORLAGE und IMPORTIEREN - IMPORTIEREN - WORD auswählen - Datei auswählen - voila

Sie können hier darüber lesen. Es sollte funktionieren.

Ich hoffe, es hilft Ihnen.

Hallo Gaby,

vielen Dank für die Klarstellung!

Ja, so hat es funktioniert. Danke!

Ist natürlich doof, dass die Seite wieder mit diesem nichtsnutzigen neuen Editor erstellt wird. Aber da kann man ja leider nichts machen :-(
