Importing Instant 27001 into Confluence

Instant 27001 (and all add-ons) are delivered as a zip file containing a space backup. This backup can be imported in any existing Cloud ↗️ or Server ↗️ site without unzipping it.

Are you installing in Confluence Server or Data Center? Note that the database encoding should support UTF8MB4 ↗️. While below instructions contain screenshots from Confluence Cloud, the procedure for Confluence Server and Data Center is more or less similar.

0. Optionally: Create a new Confluence site

If you don’t already have one, create a new Confluence site ↗️. The Free plan will work just fine, if you follow this procedure carefully.

1. Import the space

Login to Confluence as a site administrator
Select Confluence administration (⚙)
In the Data Management section, select Import spaces
Click Select a file and point to the zip file containing the space backup
The file will be uploaded
Click Import
You can skip Jira macro repair (as Instant 27001 does not use them)
Rinse and repeat if you’d like to import another space (e.g. an add-on)

2. Configure space access for yourself

When restoring a space, by default, no permissions are granted. As a result, you may not be able to see it at first.

Follow this procedure to correct this: Recovering space permissions.

3. Configure space access for your team

From the Spaces menu, select View all spaces
Locate the newly imported space (e.g. Instant 27001 ISMS) and select it
From the top left menu, select Space settings

The next steps depend on the chosen plan:

Free plan

In the Space access section, select General
Click Grant all users permission for this space
Alternatively, you can try the Premium plan for a limited time, which lets you configure access in more detail

Standard or Premium

In the Space access section, select Users or Groups
Select users or groups to grant access to your team members
