Creating a XML Export of a Space
This page explains how to export a whole space to XML file format. The resulting ZIP file contains the content of the space, including attachments, and it could help the K15t support team to resolve your issue more quickly.
To create the support file, you must log in with either specific Space permissions or Global permissions. Please navigate to the correct section on this page to generate the export for your Confluence hosting type/version:
