Confluence space import

Question

Hello All, I have conlfuence export taken from data centre instance which is in XML or HTML format.  We have used  Cloud Migration Assistant for Confluence app to export space in XML/HTML.

Now i have another cloud instance and I want to import these XML/HTML file.

I am using confluence administraion --> Import spaces -->

It has three options as below in screen.  first options talks about generating exports from server which I already have so I beliece now i need to use third option .

Third option only expects single file. if I choose HTML single file ( any ) - it says uploaded but when i say import , I get error "Import failed"- Do I need to create space in advance. How does this work ? Can someone please guide me step by step?

Thanks,

Naziya

Thank you everyone. I was able to work with atlassian support. Trick is use command key on every lock that you see in space and it did unlock .

One of the migration steps features the option to migrate users and user group which, I believe, does resolve the permissions.

Anyway.... there is a way.

In your cloud side, download Pages Manager for Confluence - it's a free app.

It allows you to change the permissions of pages in bulk.

This is the UI with two spaces loaded.

In this video, you see the I change the restrictions from only I can edit to Everyone can edit. Then I position the cursor on the restriction field of the page, do CTRL-C (Command-C on Mac), select other pages in the space, paste the value and bang, you applied restrictions setup from one page to all selected pages.
