The snipsnap importer allows you to import a Snip Snap XML backup file into a space in Confluence.

What is Snip Snap?

Snip Snap is a wiki used as a knowledge and content management tool. For more information, take a look at the Snip Snap home page and the Wikipedia page about Snip Snap.

Some limitations:

  • Currently, attachments are not imported, and Confluence does not recognise duplicate users.
  • You cannot import content into multiple spaces.

You need to have System Administrator permissions in order to perform this function.

To import a Snip Snap backup file into Confluence,

  1. First, use Snip Snap to export a backup to an XML file. Now return to Confluence.
  2. Go to the 'Administration Console' view. To do this:

    • Go to a page in the space and choose 'Administration' from the 'User' menu, which is labelled with your Confluence username. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
  3. Select 'SnipSnap Import' in the left-hand panel.
  4. Enter the location of the Snip Snap backup file in the input field displayed. You can also 'browse' and locate the file.
  5. Select a space to import the content into and click 'Save'.
