By using one of the bundled templates included with the app, or if you have created your own custom template, you can export your Confluence content to Word format.

Simply open the page you want to export, then click ••• (Page tools) > Export to Word.

A dialog box will then open where you can choose which template you want to export your content with. Additionally, you can also define the export scope to either:

  • This page and its children – export the page you start the export from and all the saved child pages
  • Only this page – export only the page you start the export from

After selecting your desired template and choosing your export scope, you can then click Show Details to display further customizable options. These options are set by default in the chosen template but can be changed prior to exporting and include:
