Import your Confluence data to Plane

Business

The Confluence to Plane importer lets you transfer your Confluence pages and content to Plane's Wiki. This is useful when you want to bring your documentation, notes, and structured content from Confluence into your Plane workspace as Wiki pages.

The importer takes exported Confluence content and converts it into Plane Wiki pages. It preserves your page structure, including subpages, and maintains the hierarchical organization of your Confluence space within Plane's Wiki system.
