Migration of pages from legacy WYSIWYG to new WYSIWYG editor #5859

Describe the feature you'd like

After upgrading BookStack and switching the default editor to the new WYSIWYG editor (lexical-based), existing pages still use the old TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor. While I can set the new editor as default for new pages, this doesn't help with my existing content.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Manual conversion (opening each page, switching editor type ...) is very time-consuming for larger installations.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not really. You could write your own migration script, but there is (as far as I know) no really easy solution.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years
