Yes, you can definitely export Confluence articles from one account and import them into another. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Export from the Source Account:

   • Go to the Confluence space containing the articles you want to export.
   • Click on the space’s Settings (gear icon).
   • Choose Content Tools and then go to the Export tab.
   • Select the format you want to export (like PDF or XML).
   • Click Export and download the file to your computer.

2. Import into the Destination Account:

   • Log in to the Confluence account where you want to import the articles.
   • Go to the space where you want to import the content.
   • Click on the space’s Settings (gear icon) again.
   • Choose Content Tools and then go to the Import tab.
   • Upload the file you exported earlier.
   • Follow the prompts to complete the import process.

Hello Shatakshi,

 Step one works for me fine.

Step two however when I go to my space and click the Gear button it opens the General configuration page and I do not see a Contents Tools option anywhere

The Gear Button says Confluence administration when I hover over it, am I missing something?

Thank you.

P.S. I am using the Free version.

Hi @Michael Brooks and welcome to the Community.

By account... do you mean a Confluence site, Cloud organization or an Atlassian account?

This determines your options.

In general, you can copy, move, and synchroznize pages, sections, and spaces between spaces, sites, and orgs, either natively or using third party apps from Confluence marketplace. Except for syncs, apps are not needed for rudimentary copy/move operations.

As you're on a free plan, a great deals of such apps are free.

Hi Michael - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It's a fairly easy process from one Confluence site to another. Just export at XML and then import in the second site.
