Moving from Confluence

What comes across, how permissions map and how to try an import first.

What comes across

Ante imports a Confluence space export (the XML export with its attachments). It brings over:

• the page tree and blog posts
• labels and attachments
• space permissions, mapped to Ante roles, and page restrictions
• comments, re-posted with their original author and date

How macros are handled

Before anything moves, Ante assesses the macros in your export:

• Kept as they are: code, no-format and anchor.
• Converted: info, note and panel callouts, expand sections, tables of contents and similar.
• Reported: anything Ante can’t bring across is listed, so you can decide what to do about it.

Try it before you switch

1. Export the space from Confluence as XML, with attachments.
2. In Ante, start an import and run it as a trial first. It goes into a sandbox, so nothing changes for your team.
3. Read the import report (you can download it as CSV) and check the pages that matter most.
4. When you are happy, cut over. If something isn’t right, you can roll the import back.
5. Old Confluence links can redirect to the new pages in Ante.
