Exporting all pages from a space to run an audit?

Question

What is the best way to run an export of all pages for a particular space? e.g a team space has 560 pages. The team will need to run an audit and review each page to decide what they're going to do with it (to keep/ to archive)

What I liked about the space pages report from Analytics is it provided information on create date, last modified, user views, and path, parent. That information is needed for running audits.

Last year I found I was able to export all pages of a space using Space Analytics. This year however, I notice it only goes to a max and can't go further than a year of engagement.

What are some alternative ways to export pages from a space?

Hi, @Kama Kosznik

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you need to retrieve all pages, one of options is to write a Python script that fetches the required information via the REST API.

It’s not the simplest approach - it does require some programming knowledge - but it’s effective and gives you full control over the data extraction process.

You can automate pagination, filter results, and export the output in a format that suits your needs.

Hi @Kama Kosznik

I agree with @Trudy P Claspill - Confluence is for collaboration and exporting pages from Confluence, reviewing them outside, then taking action in Confluence seems like an extra complication.

Use Content Manager - in Premium Confluence, you can not only review all sorts of details about the pages and filter them, you can also execute actions.

I'd use Content Manager to identify the pages that might need review, agree on a label that'd be applied to a page that might be looked into more thoroughly, then take action.

But if you must export pages, you can find that option in the Space Settings.

You can use a few apps for this.

1) You can also use the CQL Search app to run any CQL search and export the results to CSV:

2) You can use the Better Content Archiving app to export the pages from a given space (or from all the spaces on the site) to CSV:

I think the harder part of the question is how do you know which pages should be reviewed?
