Features & How To

Markdown Exporter for Confluence is a Forge-native app that gives you full control over how your Confluence content is exported to Markdown. Below is an overview of every major feature.

​

Export Scope

Choose exactly how much to export: → Detailed export guide

​

YAML Front Matter

Optionally prepend YAML metadata to every exported file. Built-in fields include title, author, date, space, and confluence_id — each toggleable individually. You can also add your own custom key-value fields. → YAML Front Matter guide

​

Obsidian Mode

Enable Obsidian mode to automatically convert all internal Confluence page links into [[Page Title]] wikilink format. Drop the ZIP into your Obsidian vault and links resolve natively. → Obsidian Mode guide

​

Custom Filename Patterns

Control how your exported files are named using {title}, {date}, and {id} tokens. Useful for archives, static site generators, and any workflow that requires predictable or sortable filenames. → Filename Patterns guide

​

Live Markdown Preview

Before downloading, preview the rendered Markdown of any page directly in the exporter. What you see in the preview is exactly what ends up in the file — no surprises.

​

In-Tree Search

Search pages by title with live highlighting directly inside the export tree. Useful when working with large spaces and you only need a specific subset of pages.

​

Attachments

Enable “Include attachments” to download all files attached to exported pages. Attachments are packaged alongside the Markdown files in the ZIP, with relative references updated to match.

​

Forge-Powered Security

Markdown Exporter runs entirely on Atlassian Forge. All processing happens inside Atlassian’s infrastructure. Exported files are delivered directly to your browser — nothing is stored on external servers, and your content never leaves Atlassian.
