Feedback on plans to stop providing XML exports of the Confluence documentation

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      From Confluence 5.5 we plan to stop providing XML exports of the complete Confluence documentation.

      The documentation has grown very large and contains content drawn from a number of other spaces for features that are shared between products (for example user management, application links, the universal plugin manager and more). This has made for a poor experience for users accessing the documentation locally (from an export that has been imported into their Confluence instance).

      We will continue to provide PDF exports of the documentation for all major versions of Confluence.

      If you have concerns or comments on this decision, please feel free to comment on this ticket.

            When having Jira, Confluence and Bitucket server installations on isolated environment (eg behind firewall) the help links are failing. XML packets and ability to point to that documentation instead of docs.atlassian.com would improve usability.

            A PDF will not be an option in this case.

            As it has been several years since we stopped providing XML exports of our Confluence documentation, and knowing that we have no plans to start providing these exports in future, I'm resolving this issue.
