Importing content

Confluence can import content from many different sources, including other Confluence sites. In most cases, people move from a document-based system to Confluence, and therefore, we will take a closer look at the Word document importer. If you are interested in importing content from other sources, such as another wiki, please take a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Importing+Content+Into+Confluence.

Importing a Word document

If you import an Office Word document, it will be available as a Confluence page to your users, with all the advantages of a Confluence page. The Word document is no longer required.

The simplest way to import a Word document is to import the entire content of the document as a single Confluence page.

More advanced options allow you to import the content into a new page, split a single document into multiple pages based on headers, and resolve title conflicts.

Confluence can import valid Microsoft Word documents stored as 97-2007 (.doc and .docx) formatted documents.

Tip

It is worthwhile to prepare your Word document before importing it into Confluence. Verify that all the headings are correct and that there is no Word Art (as Confluence doesn't support this) in your document. Make sure the images in your document are at 100 percent magnification; this will make sure Confluence imports the images in their full size.

Importing a Word document as a single page

Using this method will replace all the content on the current wiki page, so use it with caution:

  1. Create a new page where you want to import the Word document, and save it.
  2. Go to Tools | Import Word Document.
  3. Click on Browse to find the Word document you want to import.
  4. Click on Next to go to the Import options screen.

Import as a new page in the current space

Select if you want a new page to be created with the specified title.

Replace <current page>

Select if you want to replace the current page; the title will be renamed to the specified title.

Delete existing children of <current page>

The children of the current page will be removed.

Rename imported page if page name already exists

Rename the new page if there is already a page with the same title in the space.

Replace existing pages with imported pages of the same title

Replace the existing page when it has the same title as the imported document. Page history will be preserved.

Remove existing pages with the same title as imported pages

If an imported page has the same title as an existing page, then the existing page will be removed.

Split by heading

Create a new child page based on a heading.

Note

Please note that once imported, the page is no longer connected to the original Word document, and the new page and its content should be updated and edited directly in Confluence.

Importing a Word document into multiple pages

It is also possible to split a Word document based upon the headers in the document; Confluence will create child pages for those headers:

  1. Import a Word document as described in the previous section. On the import screen, choose to split your document by heading.
  2. Based on your selection, Confluence will show you a preview of the hierarchy after the import.
