Confluence Server 5.10.8 export spaces to Cloud
Asked by Bud Paytas:

I've been trying to export the spaces from our internal Confluence server to Confluence Cloud but cannot export the spaces. The only options I'm given to export a space is "Word" and "PDF." I've read as much as I could find online but can't seem to find the proper steps. I also tried to export/import the whole site, but that's not supported.

Any advice/direction would be fantastic.

Thank You in advance for any assistance.

-Bud

To export a space from your Confluence 5.10.x instance for the purpose of importing it to a Cloud instance, please access the Space tools menu at the bottom left of your Server page:

Then you can see the export options - you want XML:![Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 11.41.40 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27728iB3A3215D3F64239A/image-dimensions/596x278?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 11.41.40 AM.png")

Thanks,

I don't have that option. I'm logged in as the Administrator and can access everything else. I've attached the options I have.![Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 1.07.31 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27729iCFA86C5C1D3FDD86/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 1.07.31 PM.png")![Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 12.29.55 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27730iD4FF6D05806DA966/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 12.29.55 PM.png")![Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 12.30.08 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27731i8D9002D536D9795C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 12.30.08 PM.png")![Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 12.30.30 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27732iE8B0815E206CDDD2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 12.30.30 PM.png")

body: The space tools menu shows from a page in the space, it won't show under the cog wheel options (admin panel).

Please try:

Go to cog wheel\>General Configuration

Scroll down on the left and choose space permissions:

Choose Manage Permissions for the space you want to export:

![Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 1.03.22 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27748i27D47BF8618DA889/image-dimensions/825x180?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 1.03.22 PM.png")

Make sure you have admin and export permissions on the space:

Go to the space home page or any page on the space, the Space Tools menu should on the bottom left:

![spacetools.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27750i82340870373FF467/image-dimensions/255x664?v=v2 "spacetools.png")

The export options are under Content Tools.

Thanks,

For the record, I'm an idiot..... Thank You for your help, I see it all now. I just wasn't looking in the right place.

In the process of exporting I also found another way of doing it. Once in permissions go to content tool \> export. No need to even use that bottom menu, lol.
