How to Find Migrated Confluence Data in SharePoint Online
Question details
The user needs to locate Confluence content that has been migrated to SharePoint Online, including identifying the specific destination site, document library, list, or folder.
- Product
- SharePoint Online
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Post-migration data verification and tracking to ensure all Confluence spaces and pages transferred correctly.
- Observed behavior
- The user is unsure of the exact storage path and structure SharePoint uses to house the migrated Confluence data.
Ensure you have Site Administrator permissions in your target SharePoint Online environment and access to the mapping logs from the migration tool you used.
Check Migration Tool Mapping Settings and Logs
The most reliable way to find exactly where your data landed is to review the destination mapping configured in your specific migration tool.
Whether you used a third-party application or the Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT), the software will always generate a mapping configuration and a post-migration log detailing exactly where each Confluence space was sent.
Launch the application or service you used to migrate the data from Confluence to SharePoint.
Navigate to the migration project settings and find the 'Destination Mapping' or 'Target URL' section to see the predefined SharePoint site paths.
Download or open the post-migration audit logs provided by the tool. Search for specific Confluence space names to see the exact SharePoint Document Library or Site Page URL they were mapped to.
If the logs are unclear, contact the third-party application provider's support team for assistance in interpreting the destination paths.
Use SharePoint Online Search to Locate Content
If you do not have access to the migration logs, you can use SharePoint's global search functionality to locate specific migrated files or pages.
Edit Your Migrated Documents with WPS Office

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Confluence data look different in SharePoint?
Confluence uses a proprietary wiki-style structure, whereas SharePoint utilizes Site Pages and Document Libraries. Migration tools must translate these elements, which often results in structural and visual differences in the destination.
Where are my Confluence page attachments stored in SharePoint?
Most migration tools extract Confluence attachments and place them in a dedicated SharePoint Document Library associated with the target SharePoint Site, rather than embedding them directly in the text.
Did my Confluence macros migrate to SharePoint Online?
Complex Confluence macros often do not migrate seamlessly because SharePoint lacks direct equivalents. Migration reports will usually flag these; they often render as static text or need to be manually rebuilt using SharePoint Web Parts.
