Copying Sandbox Assets to Production

Question

We've set up a system in our sandbox that ties our Confluence documents to Assets. But the only option we have to move this to Prod is the export option, which doesn't maintain the structure of the original. Is there an alternate way to do this? Will importing overwrite the existing structure?

Hi @Admin Omar Olmos ,

Thanks for using the Atlassian Community!  Currently there isn't a way to copy Assets data from site to site.  We do have CLOUD-11716 which requests the ability to perform this type of operation and it is currently in progress, but we don't have any type of ETA on a release time for the functionality.

In terms of the export, that will create new objects which will change keys and links to that you are using to reference those objects within your Confluence pages.  There may be some third party marketplace tools that may be able to assist with this type of behavior though.

I would also encourage you to vote for and watch CLOUD-11716 to get updates on it as the work continues.

Best, 
Andy

Andy from Atlassian is correctly, but a workaround you can do is build a script/app using the Import REST API.

I've done this to get the schema structure from one cloud site to another, then using the object REST API, get the current objects, then using the Import REST API, import those objects into the other site.

It is fairly complex, so I recommend just using the export/import with CSV file, and vote for the ticket above that Andy mentioned.
