Import Confluence space content into Confluence Server

Question

Hi,

I have a confluence space xml-export (originating from Confluence cloud ). I would like to import it as a child  of one given page of my current confluence Server  6.5.

Reading the documentation I found procedure to use the xml-export as a back-up source but not as a source of additional content.

Any clue?

Hi Sylvain,

If you export to XML then comments are included:

They're included automatically in the Full Export and then only if you do not uncheck the box for custom export.

Do you remember which option you selected when exporting? You could check the database to see if they were imported and maybe you're not seeing them?

Otherwise I would try to make the Full Export again and see if you can try importing again.

Regards,

Shannon

Hi Shannon,

we have had no trouble after reindexing, that's fine.

The only minor issue is that comments have been lost, probably when generating the xml export in Confluence cloud (no option was available in the UI to include or exclude comments)

Cheers

Hi Sylvain,

Since you imported a space, I would recommend having a look at your Space Directory for the imported space.

If you don't see it there, you can perform a reindex in Confluence, and it should display.

Let me know if you have any trouble.
