Configure a target space

Overview

You can copy one space to another space in the instance when you have a space with information you want to replicate.

This option is a one-off copy - it copies a space as it exists at a point in time.

You must set a target space before each copy of the space content.

The configuration for Copy Space requires

  • a target space configuration

  • the content to be copied

The Copy Space configuration of a target space and the content to be copied are a separate to the space publishing configuration.

Copy space user permission

To copy a space you need to

  • have space admin permission in the space you want to copy

  • have at least View, Edit and Delete permission for pages, blog posts, and attachments in the target space

  • to be a member of the Confluence user group added to the Copiers Group (in the Copy Space - global configuration)

Copying a space

To copy one space to another you must first configure a target space for the copy.

  • Choose Copy Space in the space tools menu

     

  • in the space tools Copy space dashboard select the Target Space for the content to be copied to using the dropdown menu.

You need view and edit permissions for the target space.

If required you can configure the content type and the page content to be copied by configuring the copy options before copying the space using the Copy space button.
