Hi @Margaret A. Sands and welcome to the Community.

It's fairly easy to do

Natively in Confluence - with one limit.

  1. Go to the home page of your Space.
  2. Click the three dots ... then click Copy. This modal pops out:2024-12-04_08-47-44.png
  3. Choose the target (location) of your copy.
  4. Ensure to select Include N Children.
    HOWEVER: As you can see in the screenshot, the copy is limited to 500 child pages.
  5. Click Copy.

Other methods include:

  • Copy page tree app by Appfire. It comes with advanced features - for example, you can add pre/suffix to every page, and others. I use this app on regular basis.
  • Space sync for Confluence by Ricksoft. Not only it offers a one way, one-off copy option, you can establish one/bi-directional sync between two space. So you can edit one space and sync your content to the target space (or the other way 'round if you want to. Crucially, this app can sync (and copy) space between two different Confluence SITES.
  • Comala publishing by Appfire - one-way sync between two spaces on the same site.

All the above methods convert links (inline links) - the links between pages in your source space are converted to links copied pages in your target space.

Hi @Margaret A. Sands ,

One of the way to do this Bulk page copying :

Go to the top-level (parent) page of the content you want to copy. And copy the whole Page Tree and then select the new space where you want the content copied.

 

Regards,

Harshit Grover

here's an answer I would personally need an extra cup of coffee before I tried it. As comfortable as I am with the REST calls, this one may exceed my technical comfort zone.

Confluence also has APIs

If you have massive amounts of content to move (e.g pages), you may want to look into the "Gets" and "Puts" along with some scripting to make it all happen.

If you are successful with this method, please feel free to brag.  You will have earned it.
