SharePoint. We have had multiple isntances of Teams moving between Confluence and SharePoint (in both directions) and it's a major timesink.

Having any amount of automated migration tooling between the two would help dramatically.

I'd love to see a way to import directly from PB Works, or other straight up old school wiki tools.

Hi @Rabbit Stoddard

Thanks for your comment! Could you share more about which other wiki tools you'd like to import from and the reasons for wanting to do so? Also, what is the export file format?

Hi @Peter

Thanks for your comment! Could you share more about the content you're looking to import from SharePoint? Is it documents, slides, or something else?

Hi @Tiffany Chung — specifically PB works/PB wiki, fandom/wiki spaces style wikis, and TRAC- these export into html files, and have a lot of old style wiki formatting and links that one wants to be preserved. Usually, this is consolidating older wiki solutions into confluence. Happy to detail further!

Hi Tiffany, as an answer to your two posts above this one:

  • To start with and for us most important: site pages (classic or modern).
  • Second: Word docs
  • Third: PPTs

- Sugar Serve Tickets to Jira Software Boards

I have two use cases that could be interesting for us:

  1. Import Miro boards. We need to rebuilt or we import a static image. 

  2. An Easy way to import large Word documents and also import multiple documents at once.
    Complex documents will not be imported properly and we need to do a lot of manual work or the import is failing.
    Nice to have would be a possibility to split a large Word document into several pages / sub pages based on the Heading in the Word document.
    (this was possible in the server version)

according to this support article, Miro import seems to have finally arrived: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-miro-boards-in-confluence-whiteboards/

The confluence importer for live MIROs appears to be hear in beta - so far the more simple boards are fine although there are some rendering fix ups mainly with lines that I have noticed. the bigger boards am struggling with we will likely hit the 5000 element limit on some boards hoping this is addressed as in beta. also need this as a bulk importer due to the number of boards...

Hi @Helen C

I totally agree with you because we plan to stop Miro and replace by Confluence and to have a feature to bulk import it would be great :)

Other thing, for the moment urls (jira links or web link) are not imported in the whiteboard, I hope this function will be available.

I would love to be able to directly import from SharePoint folders.

A Figma Plug in like figmiro to be able to import or sync prototypes from figma into whiteboards

The Apple Notes app!

Know what would be amazing? If when I take written notes in Apple notes, Confluence OCRs them on the import. Markup (the handwriting recognition function) is not great and correcting errors in real time is clunky.

Before Confluence, we were mainly using Microsoft OneNote.
I would like to migrate OneNote data to Confluence.
Thank you.
