entities.xml file too big to edit

Question

I need to migrate one confluence space from cloud to on-premise Data Center version.

I have received the XML space backup file. However, I need to change space key before importing it since space with same key already exist in our environment. I am following the online Atlassian document to rename space key by editing entities.xml file.

The problem is that this file is close to 1 GB & I  am not able to find a suitable editor which can open file of this huge size.

Does anyone have recommendation on how to do this? Thanks

Hi Anurag,

One option is to create a new space with a brand new key.  Then copy the existing pages to the new space and then export to migrate to the new environment.
