A documentation-first structure
Turn wiki page trees into intentional collections, spaces, navigation, and user journeys instead of carrying Confluence sprawl forward.
Documentation migration - Confluence to GitBook migration
Move product and developer documentation out of Confluence and into a managed GitBook space without settling for a flat import. We map the hierarchy, macros, links, assets, permissions, redirects, and contributor workflow around the way your users and team work.
Why teams move from Confluence to GitBook
Editing without infrastructure
Give subject-matter experts visual editing while retaining Git Sync for engineering teams, without maintaining a static-site toolchain.
Guides and API reference together
Publish conceptual documentation and OpenAPI reference in one managed experience with built-in search and hosting.
How we run the migration
01
Inventory spaces and dependencies
We inventory pages, attachments, macros, links, permissions, and current URLs, then identify duplicate, stale, and restricted content before conversion.
02
Design the GitBook hierarchy
Confluence spaces and page trees become GitBook collections, spaces, groups, and navigation designed around products and user tasks.
03
Convert content and macros
Panels, code blocks, expands, tables, attachments, and internal links are converted to supported GitBook content or marked for deliberate review.
04
Configure, validate, and launch
We configure Git Sync where required, validate content and media, create the redirect map, and coordinate the domain cutover and handoff.
What breaks in a Confluence → GitBook migration
The bulk conversion is the easy part. These are the failure modes we’re actually paid to handle.
Confluence spaces mapping poorly to GitBook collections and spaces
Macros importing as plain text or disappearing from the page
Nested navigation becoming a long, unusable page list
Attachments and embedded media losing their references
Private or restricted pages appearing in the wrong destination
Old Confluence URLs breaking after the domain cutover
Starting estimate
$5,400
Typical investment · $10,500–$25,000
What changes the price
The starting scope covers up to 500 pages, one product, clean exported content, and standard structure. Macro density, attachment volume, multiple spaces, API references, restricted extraction, versions, and content cleanup increase the estimate. GitBook subscription is billed separately.
Estimates are non-binding. TechDocs Studio reviews the source and a representative sample before issuing the final proposal.
Start with a $990 Migration Pilot
We migrate a representative slice of your Confluence docs to GitBook, with the sample size and conversion scope confirmed before work starts. You receive a live preview and a proposal for the full move; the pilot fee is credited if you proceed.
Commonly asked questions
GitBook can import content, which is useful for a first pass. A production migration still needs decisions about hierarchy, macros, duplicates, attachments, permissions, URLs, Git Sync, and validation. We handle that surrounding work and use automation where it is reliable.
Common panels, code blocks, tables, and expandable sections are mapped to supported GitBook blocks. Dynamic Jira reports, bespoke macros, and embedded applications require a replacement, static representation, or explicit review decision.
Yes. We can configure Git Sync, repository structure, branches, and review conventions, then provide a contribution guide for both Git-based and visual-editing workflows.
A clean migration of up to 500 pages starts at $5,400. Projects with multiple spaces, extensive macros, partial exports, API documentation, versions, or content cleanup typically cost $10,500–$25,000. GitBook subscription fees are separate.
From our blog
How we scope large docs migrations
Why migrations fail in scope-setting, not execution, and how a representative pilot slice turns assumptions into an accurate estimate.
Nobody plans for redirects
The one question to answer before any migration launches: what happens to every existing URL? Skip it and you lose traffic, links, and trust.
How to make your docs discoverable to AI
Almost half of docs traffic is now AI crawlers. The 90% that matters: crawlable-without-JS, allowed in robots.txt, and ranking for real questions.
