Documentation for XWiki Standard & Extensions

Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2026/04/14 15:32

Where to find Documentation?

You'll find below two documentation systems:

  • The current one.
  • The new one, that we're currently working on and that is supposed to replace the current one in the future.

The strategy being applied for the new documentation system is the following:

  • Every day, we are moving documentation pages from the old system to the new one.
  • While doing so, we keep the old documentation pages and sections and provide links to the new documentation when the documentation is moved.
  • New documentation pages have links to the current documentation pages when the target pages have not yet been moved.
  • If you don't find what you're looking for in the new documentation, you should check in the current documentation.

Additionally, we are gathering feedback to improve the documentation experience. You can share your thoughts by filling in the XWiki.org Website Survey.
