Why export a Confluence space?
- Share information with people who don’t have Confluence Cloud: Pages that are exported as a PDF or Word document can easily be shared with others.
- Conveniently create user guides: Export technical documentation as a PDF to share with users.
- Turn your space into a website: If you want to create a website using the content from your space, you can do so by exporting it as HTML.
How to export a Confluence space
Export as CSV, HTML, XML, or PDF
1. Navigate to the space you want to export.
2. From the left-hand sidebar, below the name of your space, click Space settings.
3. Under Manage space, select Export space.
4. Select the format you’d like to export your space to.
5. Click Next.
6. Opt for a normal export, or custom export (which selects only specified items).

How to export individual pages from a space

Note: You can’t customise your PDF with this method. If you want to export only particular pages as a PDF, or include page numbers, choose the other method below.
1. Navigate to your chosen page.
2. Click the three dots from the toolbar to display the More actions dropdown menu.
3. Hover over Export, then choose Export to Word or Export to PDF.
Export several separate pages
1. Follow steps 1-5 for exporting a space.
2. Select Custom export.
3. Unselect the pages that you don’t want to export.
4. Click Export to finish.
Limitations
Only space admins can export spaces.
When exporting as a PDF, Word document, or HTML, you can only export the pages that you have permission to view.
Pages that have been exported as a Word document can only be viewed in Word.
