Steps

To export content in XAR format:

1. Administer your wiki.
2. Select "Content", and then select "Export" from the dropdown.

   

3. Select the Pages to export:
   • Use the "all/none" to select/deselect, or use the box with the Tick icon.

     

   • If the Page/s you want to export include extension Pages, it is useful to use the "Select from" dropdown described in the Export modal Page.
4. Configure the following settings as needed. These additional settings for exporting XARs are not available when exporting directly from viewing a Page.

   

   • "With history": You can include the Page history in the export. If not checked, only the latest version of a Page is exported.
   • "Target XWiki version": You can choose the version of XWiki where you want then to import the Pages:
     • If you're exporting content from XWiki 12.0 or later and plan to import it into an older version (e.g., 11.x, 10.x, 9.x), selecting the "Below 12.0" option will ensure that attachment history is included in the export. Without selecting this option, the export will not be compatible with versions before 12.0, and the attachment history will be lost. 
   • "File name": Set a name for the XAR file.
5. Configure "More options" for exporting XARs:

   

   • "Description*: The package description that will be displayed when importing the package.
   • "Author": The author displayed when importing.
   • "License": This refers to the content license applied to the package, which defines the terms under which the content can be used, modified, and distributed. Examples of licenses include LGPL, GPLv2, etc.
   • "Version": This refers to the version of the package, which is stored in the package descriptor. It indicates the specific version of the package and helps track updates or changes made to it.
   • "Backup package": This option ensures that the page author is preserved during the import process. It does not affect the exported content itself and can be modified before the import if needed.
6. Click on "Export" to export in XAR format, or exit the Page to discard.
