IMPORT FROM CONFLUENCE
Import from Confluence
Move a Confluence space into Raccoon Page in about ten minutes. Page tree preserved, attachments preserved, the four common macros translated to native callouts and code blocks.
TL;DR. Export your Confluence space as HTML, sign up for Raccoon Page, drop the zip into the import wizard. About ten minutes later you have a Confluence-shaped wiki that loads in under 100ms. Macros land as best-effort. Page tree, attachments, and authorship survive intact.
What we import
| Confluence concept | What it becomes in Raccoon Page |
|---|---|
| Space | Space |
| Page hierarchy (parent → child) | Page hierarchy |
| Page body (rich text) | TipTap document |
| Attachments | Page attachments |
| Page authors and edit history | Authorship preserved |
info / note / tip / warning macros | Native callouts |
code macros | Fenced code blocks |
| HTML tables | Native tables |
| Internal page links | Rewritten to new page IDs |
| Page labels | Tags |
What we don’t import (yet)
- Atlassian-only macros like JIRA issue lists or roadmap macros. They land as a comment block with the original source — you decide what to do with them.
- Templates from Confluence’s template library. Export the template page itself; we treat it as a regular page on import.
- Inline comments older than 2023. Confluence’s HTML export drops them; this is upstream of us.
- User mentions tied to Confluence accounts. They land as plain-text names. Re-mention people in your team and the link resolves.
The step-by-step
- In Confluence, go to Space settings → Content tools → Export. Pick HTML as the format and select the whole space.
- Sign up for a Raccoon Page Team trial. Create a space.
- Drop the zip into the import wizard. It validates the manifest and queues a background job. Close the tab if you want — you get a notification when it’s done.
- Review the import: count of pages, attachments preserved, macros translated, anything that landed as a comment block.
- Test a search, a deep page, and the navigation.
Most teams finish in under ten minutes. Single spaces in the 5,000-page range still come in inside the median.
Honest answers
Will my page IDs match? No. Page IDs are reassigned. Internal links get rewritten to the new IDs. External links that point at Confluence URLs are not rewritten — those still go to your old Confluence instance until you redirect the domain.
What if my export is huge? Above ~5,000 pages expect 15–25 minutes. The job runs in the background; you don’t have to babysit.
Can I roll back? Yes. Delete the imported space. Your Confluence export zip is still on your machine and the import is non-destructive on the Confluence side.
Why Team and Business only? The import pipeline is more expensive to run than typical Free workloads. If you’re a single person testing the waters, start with the Obsidian importer on Free.
Coming from somewhere else
- Import from Notion — workspace export, Markdown + CSV.
- Import from Obsidian — vault folder, available on Free.
- Import a single markdown page — one
.mdfile becomes one wiki page.
