Bulk Page Editing?

[Christopher Emerson]

Is there a way to bulk edit a bunch of Confluence pages to change them to, for example, a bunch of blog posts instead of pages?

For example, I have a page called "My Hangouts" with a bunch of sub pages under it titled "Hangout 20150601", "Hangout 20150605" etc. I'm realizing these would be much more appropriate as a blog content type but obviously don't want to have to manually copy/paste all of them.

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately is not possible to make this change right now but there is a feature request opened for it. You can check it here. Please vote to increase the chance to be applied.
Sorry for not be able to make more for you about it.

Okay, I have found out a way to make multiple changes in Confluence using a find+replace.

1. Copy content to a new temporary space
2. Export only the pages to be changed, but not the whole space
3. Delete temporary space
4. Open entites.xml in Notepad++ (or other simple text editor) and make the edits*
5. Save
6. Zip the exported files.
7. Restore space in Conflunence admin console and confirm.
8. Delete the original pages that are now modified and in the temporary space.
9. Move the pages from the temporary space to the original space.
10. Delete the temporary space

*Be very careful with your edits. Do not modify the space key or the space name.
