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.

This is seriously cool... my team have imported content from 4 HTML sites to Confluence over the last 12 months (sites that originated in MadCap Flare, Paligo, and Zendesk) - with good old fashioned copy-paste, page by page, method.

If this works as advertised, it will be a game changer because 'how do I migrated my docs from N to Confluence is a regular question on these fora.

If this works it changes 50% of all the Confluence Questions I've answered.

Maybe that's not needed. If it's supported in Confluence Free, you can import HTML there, do the necessary content cleanup and sanity checks, then export the space as XML and import it to you DC.

(I find Cloud editor better equipped to deal with imported idiosyncrasies than the Server editor).
