It did indeed put the pages into Confluence, but there were ill effects.

I did try other tests in the past where I did the following DO NOT DO THIS Get to know the entities.xml before you do a replace so that you don't accidentally replace page metadata or confluence code.Īlso, export your attachments if you plan on deleting the original pages. I was careful to do very specific find and replaces because each one found >600 instances that matched my search. I had a user who is in that content all the time check it over and they said it is fine. Do not modify the space key or the space name. In my test I found that Confluence was good enough to replace the original intra-page links and excerpts when I did my test. Move the pages from the temporary space to the original space.Delete the original pages that are now modified and in the temporary space.Restore space in Conflunence admin console and confirm.Open entites.xml in Notepad++ (or other simple text editor) and make the edits*.Export attachments, comments, labels, etc if you plan on replacing the original pages.Export only the pages to be changed, but not the whole space.I have found out a way to make multiple changes in Confluence using a find+replace.
#Bulk find and replace on mac software#
We have a software change and our documentation needs updated. My scenario is that I need to change a few pieces of text across hundreds of Confluence pages.
