Exporting multiple pages to Word at 1 time
Asked by Nedine Bothma:

1. What is Atlassian doing to improve the export feature overall? Especially needing to export content to Word/Google Docs.   
2. Why is there no ability to export multiple pages at once from the same project? To be able to custom select which pages or folders to export and to have them exported at 1 time?  
3. Why is there no option to export to Google Docs?  
4. Why is there no proper compatibility with Google Docs / Suite?  
5. Why is it so difficult to get content out of Confluence via export?   

The company I work for is committed to Atlassian products, including Confluence. I would really appreciate feedback to these questions. I cannot accept a suggestion of using PDF export only and then having to have another product to convert that PDF to Word/Google Doc and still after that having to manually fix any formatting issues.  

Not everyone can/will allow direct access to their Confluence instance so that their clients and external users can have access to content. Neither can everyone post their content online in websites etc. since there are scenarios where people need to collaborate on information which cannot be done on a website.   

I would really like to get some advise on how these blocks can be overcome. Thank you in advance.

The export function has been limited to PDF, DOC, HTML and XML for a really long time. There has not been a lot of movement on changing this and there are several feature requests like this one that have not really seen a lot of votes so this is probably why they are not moving forward, because the demand is not there. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-26113>

1. What is Atlassian doing to improve the export feature overall? Especially needing to export content to Word/Google Docs. **See information above. I took a look at the roadmap and there was nothing there about future export changes - <https://www.atlassian.com/roadmap/cloud?selectedProduct=confluence>**  
2. Why is there no ability to export multiple pages at once from the same project? To be able to custom select which pages or folders to export and to have them exported at 1 time? **You can export multiple pages in PDF, HTML or XML. Word only allows you to export a single page. To export multiple pages to Word you will need to look at an app like Scroll Word Exporter. [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud\&product=confluence\&query=export](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=export)**  
3. Why is there no option to export to Google Docs? **You are correct you would need to vote for this new feature <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-26113>**  
4. Why is there no proper compatibility with Google Docs / Suite? **If you have to get it into Google Docs individuals export to HTML and import it that way but it is time intense way to do it. <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Migrating-Data-from-confluence-to-google-Drive/qaq-p/1297000>**  
5. Why is it so difficult to get content out of Confluence via export? **If you are exporting to HTML, PDF or XML it is very easy to get information out. <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/export-content-from-confluence-cloud/>**
