Transfer a workflow between Confluence cloud sites

Scenario

I want to transfer my workflows from a test Confluence Cloud site to a production site. Is there a way to export workflows to a file and import them into the production environment, or do I need to recreate them manually?

Solution

You don't need to use an import/export tool. To transfer your workflow from one Confluence Cloud site to another Confluence Cloud site is a manual procedure.

• Copy the JSON code of your Comala workflow from the code editor in the cloud test site space.

• Create a new workflow in the production space in your cloud production site.

• Paste the code you previously copied in place of the JSON code of the newly created workflow.

You need space administrator permission in the test space and the production space.

If you require the workflow in additional spaces in your production site, as above, copy and paste the workflow JSON code into the other space.
