1 Administrators import content into a wiki from the [[Administration Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Administration Application]], which reads the [[##XAR##>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.exports.export-content-xar-format.format-specifications.WebHome]] (**X**Wiki **AR**chive) archives an [[export>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.exports.WebHome]] produces. Content of other kinds reaches a wiki through its own tool:

3 * [[Import XWiki Pages>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.imports.import-xwiki-pages.WebHome]] from a ##XAR## archive, which is how Pages move from one XWiki instance to another.
4 * [[Imports for Extensions>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.imports.extensions.WebHome]], for the ##XAR## archives that package an extension.
5 * [[Import Office Documents into Wiki Pages>>doc:documentation.xs.user.base.page.create.office-importer.import-office-documents.WebHome]], for text documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
6 * [[Imports from Other Software>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.imports.imports-software.WebHome]], for content coming from another wiki and for data formats such as ##CSV##, ##XML## or ##JSON##.

8 An archive an export produced can also be [[customized by hand>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.imports.customize-xar-file.WebHome]] before it is imported, when it does not hold exactly the Pages wanted.
