Word dorc import - disable specific import options

Renato Tovar November 9, 2021

Hello

We want to disable certain import options in the Import Word Document function. For example we don't want our users to be able to replace existing pages or delete existing children pages because we think that could cause some problems in the future. 

To be more specific we want to disable the following options:

  • Replace <page name> - content will be imported into the current page. The title of this page will change to the title you specified in the Root page title field.
  • Delete existing children of <pagename> - any existing children of the current page will be removed when the content of the page is replaced.
  • Replace existing pages with imported pages of the same title - overwrite the content of existing pages. The change will be shown in the Page History for the page.
  • Remove existing pages with the same title as imported pages - remove original pages and then create new pages. The change is not shown in the Page History for the page.

How can we disable those options?

@Renato Tovar unfortunately there is no a way to configure or change what users can do with the word doc import.   You could disable it for everyone but not configure certain options.  https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/import-a-word-document-into-confluence-170493136.html

I would agree. It is an all or none.
