Confluence 4.0, and later versions, stores all page content as XHTML.

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 page content 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 with the same space key as a space that already exists.)

Importing Content from Other Wikis

Check whether the Universal Wiki Converter can import the content. See Importing Content from another Wiki.
