The Filename Pattern setting controls what each exported .md file is named. You can use a combination of plain text and tokens.
| Token | Replaced with | Example output |
|---|---|---|
{title} |
Slugified page title | my-page-title |
{date} |
Last-edited date (YYYY-MM-DD) | 2026-04-08 |
{id} |
Confluence page ID | 75595802 |
Tokens are replaced at export time using the data for each individual page — so every file in a multi-page export gets its own unique filename.
| Pattern | Example filename |
|---|---|
{title} (default) |
my-confluence-page.md |
{title}-{date} |
my-confluence-page-2026-04-08.md |
{date}-{title} |
2026-04-08-my-confluence-page.md |
{id}-{title} |
75595802-my-confluence-page.md |
export-{title} |
export-my-confluence-page.md |
Below the pattern input, there are three token buttons — click any to append that token to the current pattern:
{title} · {date} · {id}
Each page in the tree shows a live preview of its generated filename directly below the page title — for example my-page-2026-04-08.md. This updates as you type in the pattern field so you can see the exact output before exporting.
The pattern must include at least one of {title} or {id} to guarantee every file in a multi-page export gets a unique name. Using only {date} or plain text would cause all files to have the same name and overwrite each other in the ZIP.
If the pattern is missing a uniqueness token, the input border turns red and an error message is shown. The Export Selected button is disabled until the pattern is valid.
An empty pattern is also valid — it falls back to
{title}automatically.
The {title} token converts the Confluence page title to a URL-friendly slug:
For example, "Block Quotes & Dividers!" becomes block-quotes-dividers.
