How to Move From Notion to Confluence
Use Confluence's official Notion importer for a whole workspace, or the Markdown route for a few pages. What each keeps and drops.
Direct answer
For a whole workspace, use Confluence Cloud's official importer. Go to Spaces, then Import from other tools, then Notion, and upload a Notion workspace export zip. A Notion workspace owner has to run that export. For a few pages, export them as Markdown & CSV, clean the zip in the Notion to Markdown tool, and convert each page with the Markdown to Confluence tool.
Open the Notion export cleanerWhen to use this
- Your team is moving its wiki from Notion to Confluence.
- You need a few Notion pages inside an existing Confluence space.
- You want to know what Confluence's Notion importer drops before you run it.
Steps
- Whole workspace: ask a Notion workspace owner to go to Settings, then General, then Export all workspace content. Use the format Atlassian's import screen asks for.
- In Confluence Cloud, go to Spaces, then Import from other tools, then Notion. Upload the zip. You can also connect Notion with OAuth to bring over users and permissions.
- A few pages: export each as Markdown & CSV and clean the zip in Clean export (.zip).
- Paste each page's Markdown into the Markdown to Confluence tool and copy the wiki markup or storage format.
- Check databases, equations, and synced blocks in Confluence after either route.
Example
## Release checklist - Tag the build - Post the notes ```bash npm run release ```
h2. Release checklist
* Tag the build
* Post the notes
{code:language=bash}
npm run release
{code}Common mistakes
- The importer does not support buttons, breadcrumbs, synced blocks, or table customization.
- Equations and Mermaid diagrams become plain text.
- Databases arrive as basic tables, without views or live formulas.
