ADMINISTRATION & TROUBLESHOOTING
Import and export
Move schemas and metadata with Simple Metadata packages.
Export
Schemas, metadata and history can be exported as a Simple Metadata package in JSON or YAML from their respective administrative views.
Import
Package import creates schemas only. If an imported package contains metadata, those values are previewed as ignored; this prevents accidental placement of page-specific data on another site.
Import Page Properties
Open Schemas → Import → Page Properties in the Simple Metadata app. Discover existing Page Properties Reports, or choose a space and label. Review the inferred schema before confirming the import. Each selection creates a new schema and imports matching page data in the background; follow progress in Processes. Original Page Properties macros remain in place. Adding Simple Metadata capture macros is optional and requires permission to edit each page.
Guided schema export
Select the schemas to include, review the export options and download a schemas-only package. Use the metadata and history views for their separate data exports.
What a package contains
Schemas, metadata and metadata history can be exported from their administrative views as a Simple Metadata package in JSON or YAML. Use exports for review, backup of a workflow definition, or controlled transfer between sites.
Import previews the package before it changes anything. It creates schemas only; metadata and history are shown as ignored because they are tied to pages on the source Confluence site.
Move a workflow safely
Import the schema, review its fields, defaults and permissions on the target site, then place new capture macros on target pages. Do not expect a schema import to recreate page-level evidence or macros from the original site.
