Confluence Server 5.10.8 export spaces to Cloud

[Bud Paytas]

I've been trying to export the spaces from our internal Confluence server to Confluence Cloud but cannot export the spaces. The only options I'm given to export a space is "Word" and "PDF." I've read as much as I could find online but can't seem to find the proper steps. I also tried to export/import the whole site, but that's not supported.

Any advice/direction would be fantastic.

Thank You in advance for any assistance.

Hi Bud,

To export a space from your Confluence 5.10.x instance for the purpose of importing it to a Cloud instance, please access the Space tools menu at the bottom left of your Server page:

Then you can see the export options - you want XML:

Thanks,

Ann

Ann,

I don't have that option. I'm logged in as the Administrator and can access everything else. I've attached the options I have.

The space tools menu shows from a page in the space, it won't show under the cog wheel options (admin panel).

Please try:

Go to cog wheel>General Configuration

Scroll down on the left and choose space permissions:

Choose Manage Permissions for the space you want to export:

Make sure you have admin and export permissions on the space:

Go to the space home page or any page on the space, the Space Tools menu should on the bottom left:

The export options are under Content Tools.

Thanks,

Ann

Ann,

For the record, I'm an idiot..... Thank You for your help, I see it all now. I just wasn't looking in the right place.

The UI can be a little daunting. Happy to hear you found the settings. :)

Ann,

In the process of exporting I also found another way of doing it. Once in permissions go to content tool > export. No need to even use that bottom menu, lol.

Awesome pro-tip! Thanks!
