Migrate from Notion or Confluence

Notion and Confluence are great for a team's internal knowledge. They're often wrong for public-facing docs — the reading experience, the SEO story, and the URL stability are all weaker than a purpose-built docs site. Docsio is where those pages graduate to.

The export

Notion — open the workspace settings → Settings → Workspace → Export content → Markdown & CSV. You'll get a .zip of .md files, one per Notion page, with images extracted to a sibling folder.

Confluence — Space settings → Content tools → Export → HTML or Markdown export. Markdown export is cleaner for our purposes.

Atlassian's "Confluence to Markdown" tools — also fine, just check the output reproduces lists, code blocks, and tables faithfully before importing.

Drop it into Docsio

On Docsio's new project page, choose file upload. Drop the entire export folder in — markdown files, image folder, anything. The AI agent reads everything, proposes a structure, and asks for your approval before touching the sandbox.

Cleanup that pays off

Notion and Confluence pages tend to have shape that doesn't translate. The AI agent fixes most of it; the parts you'll usually still want to clean by hand:

  • Page titles that are sentences — Notion encourages "How do I configure SSO with Okta if I'm on the enterprise plan and using a custom IdP" as a page title. Shorten to "Configure SSO with Okta" — the page body explains the conditions.
  • Inline mentions and database references@Person mentions, linked databases, and inline page references break on export. The agent flags these and suggests replacements.
  • Deep nesting — wikis nest 5–6 levels deep with no consequences. A real docs site struggles past 3. Ask the agent for a flatter sidebar restructure.
  • Internal-only language — Confluence pages often reference internal team names, project codes, slack channels. Strip these as part of the publish-readiness pass.

Images and screenshots

Notion exports stash images alongside markdown with cryptic UUID filenames. Docsio's agent re-uploads them and renames sensibly. After import, do a quick walkthrough — anything that says "Untitled" or has weird crops is a candidate for re-capture or removal.

What you gain

  • Real URLs that don't change when a page is renamed.
  • An RSS-style llms.txt index so AI assistants can crawl the docs.
  • A custom domain (docs.yoursite.com) instead of wiki.yourcompany.com/spaces/PUB/pages/4928172.
  • Markdown that lives in your GitHub repo if you want it.
  • A reading experience that wasn't designed for an internal team meeting.
