    Space administrator permissions are required to create a Bitwiki

    Method 1 - Copy and Replace

    1. Create a new space from the spaces drop down menu named after your client, app, or project and publish it

    2. Go to the Agile BitWiki or https://bitovi.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BitwikiLight space and use the ··· menu on the upper right side next to the share button

    3. Select copy from the ··· drop down menu

    4. In the modal window, for select space select the new space you created, make sure to check the box for “include n child pages” and hit next

    5. In the “replace this text” input box type [Bitwiki Default] and in the “with this” input box type your client, app, or project name. Click Copy.

    6. go to space settings in the new space

    7. go to space details

    8. click edit space details

    9. in the homepage box type in your page name or choose it after it autocompletes. This should set the home page to that page.

    10. [optional] The pages may no longer be organized correctly so you may want to organize them by dragging and dropping them into the correct order.

    Method 2 - The XML Export/Import

    1. Go to Agile BitWiki and export the space by choosing “Space Settings > Export Space” . The space key for Bitwiki Deafult is “BITAPP” this will be important later.

    2. Export the full file as an XML

    3. Unzip the file

    4. Using a text editor (Sublime, Atom, Notepadd++, etc) update the exportDescriptor.properties file with the new space key. BITAPP → YOURSPACEKEY

       

       

    5. Update the entities.xml’s capital and lower case space key with your space key using find replace all. Make sure the case sensitive button is selected to make this process easier

      BITAPP → YOURSPACEKEY
      bitapp → yourspacekey

       

    6. Update the entities.xml’s capital and lower case space name with your new space name in the same manner.

      [Bitwiki default] → Your App Name
      [bitwiki default] → your app name

    7. Make sure you compress the files into a single flattened folder by selecting all of the files within the unzipped folder and then choosing to compress

       

    8. Import the space into confluence.

    9. Presuming you’ve successfully imported the space you should get a success message.

    10. delete or archive this page (the one you’re reading) from the new space
