Can I import a whole Space in Confluence Database

Aurelie MBIANDA

Hello,

I want to reorganize an existing Space using Confluence DB. I have tried to connect the DB to Confluence in the Database setup parameters, but I can only filter on the editor name or updated date for a given page. This is not restrictive and precise enough however, I would like to import all pages based on a given label or all pages belonging to a given space. Is that possible ?

Confluence databases are quite limited in their features. What do you want to achieve with all pages being listed in the database?

HI @Aurelie MBIANDA and welcome to the Community.

You can - but it's not a straightforward journey.

I wrote a little article here on Community a while ago on the subject - just please read the comments too, especially the latest ones as Databases keep evolving and changing. So I hope the update in my latest comments still stands

Anyway... depending on what you want to do with Databases, you might also consider apps like

Panorama by Kolekti
Pages Manager by Ricksoft (I believe it's still free)
Space Content Manager by EasyApps
And there's also Content Manager in Confluence....

All these apps can replicate and/or extend Databases (and the other way round). So typically, you will find yourself using one of the apps and Databases for slightly different purposes.

Hello @Kristian Klima

thank you very much for the welcome, and for the detailed answer, I will give all this documentation a look !

Hi Marc,

thank you for taking the time to answer. I was reading this article how-to-structure-confluence-content-for-long-term-success , and it mentioned using databases as an alternative or complement to page properties for better organization.

I have a large existing Space with lots of documentation but no page properties set up. Adding them manually to every page would be time-consuming, and any updates would require editing each page again.

I was hoping to use a database to leverage existing labels and get a more dynamic, filterable view—for audits or inventory. I also tried using the "filter by label" macro, but it’s too static, especially with 20+ labels. Ideally, I’d like a table that lists all pages with their labels and allows filtering.

Is something like that possible in Confluence?

Not sure it helps, but we make the free addon Keep it up to date!

This allows you to list all pages in a space, by asking it to list all pages older than 0 (zero) days. Unfortunately it does not allow you to filter the pages, however it shows page status and page owner.

@marc -Collabello--Phase Locked- Can it tell me which pages from the space are not in the database? 'Cause that would be perfect
