What you'll learn
  1. Which tool fits each scenario — CCMA, built-in XML, or Modern Importer Exporter
  2. The 5 most common migration pitfalls (broken links, missing attachments, macro failures) and how to avoid each
  3. How to choose an export format by fidelity vs portability
  4. A copy-paste migration checklist for pre-migration, export, import, and validation

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.

Best Confluence Import/Export Apps Compared — 2026 Guide

Teams move content in and out of Confluence every day — migrating between instances, backing up documentation, importing from other tools, exporting for offline review. Confluence has basic PDF and HTML export built in, but it's limited. No bulk operations, no multi-format support, no structured import workflow.

Over a dozen marketplace apps try to fill this gap, but most solve one narrow problem: PDF export, Word import, or Markdown conversion. We built Modern Importer & Exporter for Confluence to handle both directions — import and export — across multiple formats. In this post we compare it against every alternative on the Atlassian Marketplace.
