Best Practices

Choose the Right Spaces

Select spaces that contain customer-facing or support-relevant content:
  • Product documentation
  • FAQ and troubleshooting guides
  • Feature explanations
  • Getting started guides

Exclude Internal Content

Avoid importing spaces with sensitive internal information:
  • HR policies (unless for internal chatbots)
  • Financial documents
  • Confidential project pages

Keep Content Fresh

  • Re-import regularly: Sync your Confluence content periodically to capture updates
  • Use labels: Tag pages you want to include for easier selection
  • Clean up first: Archive or delete outdated pages before importing

Troubleshooting

  • Verify you have read access to the space in Confluence
  • Check that the space isn’t restricted to specific users
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Atlassian account
  • Try importing smaller spaces or fewer pages at once
  • Check for pages with very large attachments
  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection
  • Embedded macros may not render (content shows as placeholder)
  • Images are not included (only alt text)
  • Ensure the page is published, not in draft status

Confluence Data Center

SiteGPT currently supports Confluence Cloud only. Confluence Data Center (on-premise) support is planned for a future release.
If you need to train from Confluence Data Center, consider:
  • Exporting pages as PDF or Word and using file upload
  • Using the API to export content to a supported format
