The snipsnap importer allows you to import a Snip Snap XML backup file into a space in Confluence.

What is Snip Snap?

Snip Snap is a wiki used as a knowledge and content management tool. For more information, take a look at the Snip Snap home page and the Wikipedia page about Snip Snap.

Some limitations:

  • Currently, attachments are not imported, and Confluence does not recognise duplicate users.
  • You cannot import content into multiple spaces.

(info) You need to have System Administrator permissions in order to perform this function.

To import a Snip Snap backup file into Confluence,

  1. First, use Snip Snap to export a backup to an XML file. Now return to Confluence.

  2. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:

    • Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
    • Enter your password and click 'Confirm'. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
  3. Select 'SnipSnap Import' in the left-hand panel.
  4. Enter the location of the Snip Snap backup file in the input field displayed. You can also 'browse' and locate the file.
  5. Select a space to import the content into and click 'Save'.
