How to preserve a Confluence page's readable comments
Comments can explain decisions or unresolved questions that are absent from the main page text. Exporting the selected discussion creates a record that retains its relationship to the page.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- one Confluence page with selected readable comments.
- The intended result
- Selected readable page comments as text.
How the workflow works.
Keep each comment with its available author, time and page reference. Preserve reply relationships where they are readable so answers remain connected to the questions they address.
What to check in the result.
Inspect the sequence and scope before sharing. The selected comments should not be presented as the complete page history or as approved documentation simply because they were exported.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
