We currently have a knowledge base export in SQL, CSV and TXT file format (as individual text files for each article). Is there a method to import these into confluence to generate pages or articles automatically in a Confluence Space?

To get your TXT into Confluence, you could create a Word file per final space with all the TXT files, with each article title formatted as heading 1. Then on import, select split on heading 1. The result will be one page per heading 1.

It will take some work up front, but probably the fastest way to get content in.

When I created a test Word file as you suggested, it was just imported as 1 page. There was no option to select a split on heading 1. Where should I've got that option Bill?
