API support for replicating articles in bulk
under review
Karthikeyan J
We’re currently reorganizing our knowledge base and are trying to replicate a set of articles from our General space into other spaces and specific folder structures.
We’ve attempted to handle this programmatically via the v2 REST API, but we’ve run into a blocker: articles marked as is_shared_article: true appear to be completely immutable via the API (e.g., cannot be forked, updated, or moved). Since replication seems to create these “shared” instances, this prevents us from automating the process at scale. This impacts ~4000 articles.
Our goal is to replicate these articles into new locations while preserving their shared/linked behavior, not creating independent copies.
We'd love to see some form of bulk replication supported in a future update.
Thank you.

Hi Shamrock green Salmon
Thank you for detailing your use case - this provides clear context on the challenges you’re facing with large-scale article replication.
We understand the limitation around shared articles (
is_shared_article: true
) and how it impacts your ability to programmatically replicate content while preserving linkage across spaces.We’re currently working on enabling bulk replication, and this is under active exploration from a requirement and design standpoint. The goal is to support scalable workflows like yours while maintaining the intended shared behavior of articles.
We’ll keep you posted as we make progress on this. Appreciate your patience and for highlighting this at scale - it’s valuable input for shaping the solution.
