Confluence allows you to export a part of, or the entire contents of a space into a zipped archive of XML files.

This is useful if you want to take a backup of the space, export the space to another Confluence instance, or wish to use the data from the space in another application.

To export to XML, you will need 'Export Space' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space Permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.

Site administrators can import a space from a zipped archive of its xml files.

To export to XML,

  1. Click on the 'Browse Space' link for the space. This is located at the top of every page or beside the space link on the dashboard.

  2. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on 'Export Space' in the left panel.

  3. Click the radio button to select XML from the list of export options.

  4. Check the box 'Include Comments' if you want to include comments for the pages you are exporting.

  5. Check 'Backup Attachments' if you want include all attachments for the space in the export.

  6. Select the pages you want to export by checking the boxes in the tree view of pages displayed. By default, all the pages are selected. You have the option to 'Check All' or 'Clear All' pages. See screenshot.

  7. Click 'Export'. This will create a zipped archive of XML files.

If you are running Confluence behind Apache and are facing timeout errors, please consider creating the export directly from Tomcat, instead of going through Apache. This will speed up the process and prevent timeouts.
