Confluence allows you to import text files from a disk or a directory on the Confluence server, and convert them into Confluence pages. Each file will be imported as a Confluence page that has the same name as the file.

  • The text file needs to contain Confluence wiki markup to be converted accurately into a Confluence page.
  • You need to be a System Administrator to import text files.
  • You can import pages from disk into global spaces, but not into personal spaces. Please see Working with Spaces for information about differences between global spaces and personal spaces.

To import text files:


  2. Click 'Import pages from disk' in the left panel under the heading 'Import'. This will display a new screen.

  3. Type the directory's path into the 'Import directory' text field.

  4. Check 'Trim file extensions' to remove file extensions when converting the files to Confluence pages. Note that the Confluence pages will take their titles from the files' names (including their extensions). So to avoid having page titles with a suffix like '.txt', make sure you check this box.

  5. Check 'Overwrite existing pages' if you want to replace existing Confluence pages with the same page title.

  6. Click 'Import'.
