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.

Notes:

  • The text file may contain plain text, HTML or Confluence Storage Format..
  • You need to be logged in as 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:

  1. Choose Browse > Space Admin.
    Note: 'Space Admin' is displayed only if you are a space administrator for that space, or you are a super user (a member of the confluence-administrators group).
  2. Choose Import pages from disk in the left-hand panel.
  3. Type the directory's path into the Import directory box.
  4. Select Trim file extensions to remove file extensions from the page titles when converting the files to Confluence pages. Note that the Confluence pages will take their titles from the files' names (including their extensions). To avoid having page titles with a suffix like '.txt', make sure you check this box.
  5. Select Overwrite existing pages if you want to replace existing Confluence pages that have the same page title as one you are importing.
  6. Choose Import.

Confluence will place the new pages at the root of the space. To find them, choose the Tree tab in the List Pages view.
