Assuming that you have exported a backup and reimported it on a new instance, the main step of the reimport is the mappings:
...
“Not mapped” means no target value was provided yet. The general action is to click on “Map automatically”.
“Excluded” means the record should not be imported. It will also skip the import of all the dependent records. For example, it can be used for a space. It is not advisable to use it for a user, since none of the requirements edited by that user will be imported.
“Mapped (green mark)”: The record was entered manually by an administrator, or it was a perfect match during the automatic mapping. It is not possible for an administrator to mark it yellow again.
“Mapped (yellow mark)”: The record was mapped automatically, so the correctness is uncertain.
During an automatic mapping, values will only be set in “Not mapped” and “Mapped (yellow mark)” statuses. Therefore, if you want the automatic mappings to run again, please set the interesting records as “Not mapped”.
Special case: If you don’t want to import a user, you can mark it “Mapped” but leave a blank value.
Example scenario
The administrator clicks “Map automatically” as a first step,
The administrator then filters by “Mapped automatically”,
There are 2 errors. The administrators marks them a read,
There are hundreds of objects to map. The administrator filters by space, and clicks on the “Mapped” button to mark them green,
Then the administrator filters by pages, searches for the pages in the UI of Confluence, confirms that the ID is correct, and clicks “Mapped” on each record to mark them green,
The administrator then clicks “Import this data”, and waits for the task,
They notice a small mistake, goes back to the mapping, fixes the mistake, then performs the final import again.
