Bulk import doc and docx files into confluence

[Zuheab Jamil]

Hi All, 

We have trying to migrate from sharepoint to confluence by converting all our doc and docx files into Confluence pages and have been going thru webdav client like cyberduck for bulk import. 

Is that possible in the current Confluence 7.4 version or is there a better way to get this completed. An urgent reply will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Zuheab, welcome to the Community!

The process for importing Word documents to Confluence using the native tooling is done on a file-by-file basis in both Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud:

• Import a Word Document Into Confluence (Server) 
• Import Content into Confluence Cloud 

While you can add documents as attachments via WebDav in Confluence Server, those documents won't be converted to Confluence pages. People trying to access the documents would see them as attachments they could download, preview, or edit in Microsoft Word (using either the "Edit in Office" functionality of Confluence or the Atlassian Companion). Generally we recommend converting documents that might be edited in the future to native Confluence pages if possible, as this will allow you more flexibility in maintaining the contents and using things like Confluence macros.

Doing a search on the Atlassian Marketplace for alternative options for importing Word documents , I see one app currently:

• All-in-one File Importer for Confluence for Confluence Cloud by Bitwelt Software

Based on this app's marketplace listing, it appears to support importing in bulk. Checking that app out would be my suggestion for bulk importing Word documents as native Confluence pages.

Cheers,
Daniel
