PocketQuery Cloud Export
You can Export PocketQuery entities in the Import/Export section in the PocketQuery administration.
In this guide, we focus on the “Export” part, which you can find on the right. If you are looking for PocketQuery Import, refer to PocketQuery Cloud Import.
To export your entities, all you need to do is clicking on the “Export entities” button.
The export process might take up to a minute based on your Confluence size. When the export is finished, you should see 2 buttons and a success message.
Now you can download your export or use our Export Viewer to browse the export in a human-readable format. The export file will contain all your PocketQuery entities including their complete configuration and details.
Warning: The exported file does not contain Datasource passwords! These need to be entered manually after the export.
Download Exported Entities
You can download the exported entities by clicking on the “Download file” button.

How can I utilize the PocketQuery Export?
You can export your entities at any time. This can serve as a backup or you can use it for a migration between two Confluence Cloud instances.
