How do I export a recorded browser workflow directly into Confluence?
March 6, 2026·2 min read·Screen Recording to Documentation
Most workflow capture tools offer a direct Confluence export. In Glyde, Scribe, and Tango, you record the workflow in your browser, then click Export and select Confluence. The tool creates a new Confluence page with formatted steps, annotated screenshots, and descriptions. Some tools paste into an existing page via clipboard export if a direct integration is not available.
What are the export options?
| Export Method | How It Works | Formatting Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Direct integration | Tool connects to your Confluence instance via OAuth — one-click export | High — native headings, images, numbered lists |
| Clipboard paste | Copy the guide and paste into Confluence editor | Medium — may need minor formatting fixes |
| HTML embed | Embed the guide as an iframe in a Confluence page | High — but content lives outside Confluence |
| Markdown export | Export as markdown, paste into Confluence markdown block | Low — images need manual upload |
How does the direct export workflow look?
- Record your workflow using the Chrome extension
- Review and edit the generated guide
- Click Export → Confluence
- Select your Confluence space and parent page
- The tool creates a new page with:
- Page title matching your guide title
- Numbered steps with descriptions
- Annotated screenshots as inline images
- Proper heading structure
What should you check after exporting?
| Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Image sizing | Screenshots may import at full resolution — resize to fit the page width |
| Page hierarchy | Verify the page landed under the correct parent page |
| Permissions | Ensure the page inherits the right space permissions |
| Labels | Add Confluence labels (e.g., "sop", "onboarding") for discoverability |
| Table of contents | Add a Confluence TOC macro if the guide has multiple sections |
