Hi @Srinivas Veesam 

Welcome to community!

I havent worked on this use case before but i see that is an option to publish from RoboHelp to Confluence -> https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/using/publish-to-confluence-knowledge-base.html

Have you looked at leveraging this 'publish' to move necessary content over to confluence?

[Srinivas Veesam]

Thanks. I am using RoboHelp 2019. It seems, confluence publising is enabled from RoboHelp 2022. 

Also, I am looking to migrate from RoboHelp to Confluence. How to do that?

@Srinivas Veesam If your version does not support direct output...

Check this debate for general advice.

@Srinivas Veesam When you publish your content to Confluence, it becomes pages in a Confluence space that you will be able to edit and maintain within Confluence. Thus, publishing your content is how you migrate it.

Hi @Srinivas Veesam ,

With the integration of Confluence, Adobe RoboHelp has expanded its publishing capabilities to allow for direct publishing of articles to the Confluence Knowledge Base.

Hi @Srinivas Veesam and welcome.

What all methods, and migrations, have in common:

• the more uniformed and 'disciplined' your source content is, the faster and the more successful the migration will be
• you WILL HAVE TO do the cleanup and sanity checks of the content in the target CMS (Confluence in this case). No automated migration is 100% reliable.
