Need to import a space into an existing space without overriding or having to create another space

Lopez, Tatiana

Hello all,

I have been given a xml export from another Confluence space, let's call it XYZ and now I would like to import that content into my space ABC without having to either create another space or overriding my pages in ABC...

I am not sure if i need to rename the exportDescriptor.properties and the entities.xml to contain ABC instead of XYZ and if I do so, would that cause any other problem?

I would appreciate any help.

Hi Tatiana,

you can't import a space, if another space with the same key already exists. So, renaming the properties is no option.

You have to import the space XYZ into your Confluence and move the pages after the import to ABC.

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I may have explained myself wrongly, the key XYZ doesn't exisit in my spaces. What I want to avoid is having to create a XYZ space to import the content when I know I want that content under ABC existing space.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Tatiana

To be honest, I've never done anything like that. Here's more information about your problem, also some tips about editing the exported xml-file:

Be sure to test this first in a testing environment.

Hello Thomas,

Let's step back for a second, the bottom line of what I need to do is to import a space from one confluence into a another Confluence site.

I already have a target space ABC and therefore would want to move everything into this ABC instead of the original XYZ.

Reading your first comment, if I import it as XYZ then I can move the pages to the other space ABC, correct?

Thanks,
Tatiana

Yes, of course. Moving pages (with or without their subpages) from one space to another is standard Confluence functionality:

Thanks,

Then I suppose I am better off importing the whole new space and then moving the whole tree to ABC.
