Confluence Docs 3.0 : Importing Content Into Confluence This page last changed on Dec 02, 2008 by smaddox. Confluence stores all page content in Confluence's wiki markup syntax. On this page: Importing Content from Other Confluence Sites Importing Content from Other Wikis Importing Content from an Office Document Importing Web Content Importing Other Non-Wiki Content ## Importing Content from Other Confluence Sites For content originating from other instances of Confluence: If the Confluence major versions are the same, export the space from the originating Confluence site and import it into the destination Confluence site. If the Confluence major versions are different, you can use an intermediate server to migrate versions. Page history, attachments, and wiki markup will be preserved and you will be able to do multiple pages at once. The drawbacks are that it may be inconvenient if the Confluence versions differ, and you cannot have a duplicate space key on the destination instance. (You cannot import a space that already exists, and this is defined by the space key.) ## Importing Content from Other Wikis Check whether the Universal Wiki Converter can import the content. See Importing Content from another Wiki. ## Importing Content from an Office Document The Office Connector in Confluence allows you to import an Office document into Confluence, so that the document's content is copied onto one or more Confluence pages. See Importing an Office Document into Confluence. ## Importing Web Content Here are some options for importing or displaying web content on a Confluence page: Use the Widget Macro to display videos, slide shows, twitter chats, documents and more, sourced from other web sites and displayed on your Confluence page. Convert a HTML file to a Confluence page using the HTML To Confluence Converter plugin. Embed an external web page into Confluence with the Html Include macro. Use HTML code in a page with the HTML macro. ## Importing Other Non-Wiki Content Importing non-wiki markup into Confluence requires a conversion process: Text with basic formatting can be pasted directly into the Rich Text Editor. This includes simple Word documents or web pages. Files such as Microsoft Excel documents can be imported using a content converter plugin. Confluence pages saved to disk can be imported from disk. ##### RELATED TOPICS Working with the Office Connector Importing Content from another Wiki Take me back to Confluence User Guide
