Say Hello to HTML Importer: Bulk Import Your HTML Content into Confluence!

[#1]

Hi Atlassian Community,

I’m Tiffany Chung, a Product Manager on the Confluence Cloud team. We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature that addresses a long-standing request: the ability to move HTML content to Confluence more seamlessly.

Until now, bulk migration of HTML docs to Confluence has been a challenge. We’ve listened to your feedback and are excited to announce the launch of the HTML Importer (Beta) for Confluence.

Confluence: your central knowledge hub

It remains the go-to destination for users to create, find and organize their content. The HTML importer is instrumental in this process, assisting users in consolidating their tools and facilitating a smooth transition of their content into Confluence. This functionality ensures a more seamless experience as users integrate their information into one place.

How to Import HTML Content

1. Access Import Options: As a site or org admin, go to the spaces dropdown menu and select “Import from other tools.”

2. Follow the Import Flow: Proceed through the import process by uploading your HTML content, configuring spaces, and reviewing your selections.

3. Completion Notification: You will receive an email once your import is complete.

Thanks for bringing this improvement. Any reason why there is still no plain Markdown bulk import?

May i ask what was the requirement or use-cases that makes rendered HTML a much higher priority over Markdown? Was it this 20 year old request https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-1072 (You can close this ;) )?
