Has anyone moved a company knowledge base from Notion to Confluence? Looking for lessons learned

[Pricilla]

When migrating a company knowledge base from Notion to Confluence? What broke, and what would you do differently?

Details:

I run an worldwide e-commerce business. Notion has been our main knowledge base for everything (processes, documentation, project tracking) and it has grown to the point where it loads slowly and is unreliable as the system my AI tooling reads from. I want to move to Confluence.

What I've done so far:

- Decided Confluence is the better long-term substrate, mainly because I need a knowledge base an AI agent can read from reliably, not just one people read
- Scoped the migration to a single department: the one I run myself with external partners, so nobody else's work is disrupted while I learn what's involved
- Not started the import yet. I want to hear from people who have done it before I move anything

Where I need input:

- What did the import handle well, and what did you end up rebuilding by hand?
- Notion databases are the part I'm least sure about. What did you map them to, Confluence databases, tables, page properties, or Jira?
- How did you structure spaces and permissions differently from how you had Notion set up?
- Anything you'd do differently if you started again?

Happy to report back on how it goes.

Hello @Pricilla 

I do not have a direct Notion to Confluence experience but by now I'm a veteran of migrating documentation from other tools into Confluence.

I wrote a short blog post about documentation migraton that summarizes best practices. Me and @Matt Reiner _K15t_ also did a live webinar on the subject.

You may find these resources useful as they focus on practical content consideration and complement resources that @Marc -Devoteam- linked to.

Hi @Pricilla 

Welcome to the community.

No I have no experience in this, I can only provide you with documentation from Atlassian and the FAQ ( I assume you have gone over these already)
