How to copy pages include all scaffolding contents.

[Dipali Sharma]

How can I copy e.g. 345 pages all at once from one space into another without losing the content that is filled in the scaffolding macros. Similar to  the function "Copy with scaffolding"  but with multiple or better a large number of pages.

We managed to copy approx 400 pages all at once, but all were empty (no scaffolding content copied)

Hi @Dipali Sharma and welcome to the Community.

While I'm not familiar with the Scaffolding macro, I faced a similar situation and depending on the nature of the app, there might be three ideas you can try.

Scenario 1

The app is configurable per space. In this case, ensure that you have the exact same configuration / setup both in the Source and the Targe space. 

Hypothesis: when you copy a page, the macro-specific metadata is copied but, as there's no corresponding app setup in the target space, the content is not rendered.

Scenario 2

The app is active throughouot the Confluence site but the native Confluence copy feature ignores its content.

You can try a dedicated content copy app. Appfire have their Comala Publishing app available for Data center too. 

What this app does it is effectively clones the space, hook line and sinker. So it might do a better job than Confluence.

Scenario 3

Combination of 1 and 2. You will have to replicate the Scaffolding setup in the target space AND use the specialized copy/sync/clone app.
