How can data from SharePoint 2016 be imported into Confluence?

[Elias Sackmann]

Hello Atlassian Community,

I am looking for advice on importing data and documents from an existing SharePoint 2016 instance into our Confluence environment. Specifically, I’m interested in ways to bring over entire document libraries or lists, including their metadata, into Confluence.

• Has anyone successfully transferred content from SharePoint 2016 to Confluence and can share their experience?
• Are there recommended tools, integrations, or best practices for this process?

Any tips, experiences, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards, Elias

If it were up to me, I’d start with a small test migration first. SharePoint → Confluence isn’t a clean one-click process, and it’s easy to lose structure or metadata. A dedicated migration tool can save a lot of headaches, but even then you’ll want to double-check how your libraries look once imported. Better to catch the issues early than redo everything later.

That's exactly how we want to approach this situation as well. Our plan is to conduct several test runs, using a sample of around 5-10% of the total dataset, prior to migrating everything to Confluence. 

However, we're still exploring the best method for the migration. So far, we haven't been able to find any tools or Marketplace plugins that address the migration from e.g. SharePoint 2016 to Confluence. At this point, it seems that custom scripting may be the only viable solution for this challenge.
