What you'll learn
  1. How to plan a Confluence content migration
  2. Choosing the right migration tools and methods
  3. Avoiding common migration pitfalls

Migrating Confluence content is something most teams eventually face. Whether you are moving from Confluence Server to Cloud, reorganizing spaces after a company merger, or splitting a monolithic workspace into focused team spaces, the process can feel overwhelming. Pages link to each other, attachments sit deep in page trees, permissions are inherited from parent spaces, and macros pull data from external sources.

This guide walks through the entire Confluence content migration process from start to finish. You will learn how to plan your migration, choose the right tools for your scenario, export and import content without losing data, and validate the result. We cover both Atlassian's built-in export features and the Modern Importer Exporter for Confluence app for format-based migrations.

How to Add Numbered Headings in Confluence (Auto-Number H1-H6)

If you have ever written a long Confluence page — a technical specification, an SOP, a project charter, or an onboarding guide — you know the problem. You add headings, rearrange sections, insert a new subsection, and suddenly every manual number is wrong. "Section 3.2" becomes "Section 4.2" because you added a new section above it, and you spend the next twenty minutes renumbering everything by hand.

Numbered headings solve this. When your heading numbers are generated automatically, you can add, remove, and reorder sections freely without ever touching a number again. The numbering updates itself.

This tutorial walks through how to set up automatic numbered headings in Confluence using Modern Numbered Headings for Confluence, an NGPILOT app that installs in seconds and works immediately — no configuration wizards, no macro nesting, no custom CSS.

How to Use QR Codes in Confluence: Complete Guide

QR codes bridge the gap between physical and digital information. A printed QR code on a poster, equipment label, or business card lets someone open a web page, join a WiFi network, or save a contact without typing a single character. For teams using Confluence as their knowledge base, adding QR codes to pages turns static documents into interactive touchpoints.

The challenge is that Confluence does not include built-in QR code generation. You either use a third-party QR generator website, download the image, and upload it manually — or you install a marketplace app that generates QR codes directly inside Confluence pages. The second option is faster, keeps your QR codes up to date when page URLs change, and avoids juggling image files.

QRCode for Confluence by NGPILOT is a lightweight app that embeds QR codes directly into Confluence pages using a simple slash command. It supports URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, and any other string. You can customize the size, and the QR code renders inline on your page.

This guide covers everything you need to know: how to install and use the app, what content types you can encode, creative ways teams use QR codes in Confluence, and best practices for making sure your QR codes actually get scanned.
