How Do I Transfer a Document to a New Confluence Instance?

The answer to this question depends on the type of migration you are performing.

Confluence Server/Data Center to Cloud

If you are migrating from a Confluence Server or Data Center instance to Confluence Cloud, you must use the Atlassian Migration Assistant. The process is described in detail in this article:

Server/Data Center to Data Center

For Server-to-Data center, or Data center-to-Data center migrations, you must use XML exports of your spaces:

  1. Create XML exports of your spaces.

    1. Follow Atlassian's documentation to do this: Export Content to Word, PDF, HTML and XML

  1. Ensure Scroll Documents is installed (and its extension apps , if you are also using them) on your new instance.

  2. Import the spaces.

    1. For steps on how to import a space, see Atlassian’s documentation: Restore a Space or multiple Spaces

We recommend starting with a few test spaces to ensure the export and import works as expected.
