How to update the wiki links in bulk in a Confluence page

Aditi Saini

I have a Confluence page with 50+ wiki links and I wanted to update the target address of those links.

Dear Aditi,

I am afraid there is no other way than to find/replace those links. It is your only option here.

Friendly Regards,

One way is to:

create a test space
copy the page with the 50 links to the test space
export the test space to XML
find and replace the links as described in option 1 on How Do I replace all 'hard' links to my old Base URL
re-zip the back-up
delete the test space
import the XML backup
move the page with the 50 links back to the original space.

Would it not be handier just to replace the links on the page? It is effectively what you are already doing. There is no need to export it.

There isn't a find/replace feature in the Confluence editor so he would have to find each one and type the new URL. If the links are all "wrong" in the same way, which I assumed based on his wanting to bulk update, it would be faster and more accurate to use find/replace with a text editor.

Another way would be to install the Source Editor plugin, use a text editor to edit the storage format, and then paste it back in.

Jeremy M

I agree, that is why anyone would simply copy and paste the links into a text editor like you stated as this would be most convenient. This would not require any export or importing of spaces.
