| 1 | The Import section of the Administration offers these options once a [[##XAR## package>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.exports.export-content-xar-format.format-specifications.WebHome]] has been selected. The first three are a single choice made "when a Page already exists in the wiki"; "Import as backup package" is independent of that choice. | ||

| 3 | |=Option|=Effect | ||
| 4 | |"Add a new version to the existing page (if different)"|Adds a [[version>>doc:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.history-tab.view-history.major-minor-versions.WebHome]] to the existing Page, and only when the imported content differs from the current one. The Page keeps its [[history>>doc:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.history-tab.view-history.WebHome]]. | ||
| 5 | |"Replace the page history with the history from the package"|Replaces the Page [[history>>doc:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.history-tab.view-history.WebHome]] with the one carried by the package. Without this option an imported Page starts again at version "1.1". | ||
| 6 | |"Reset history to version 1.1"|Discards the existing [[history>>doc:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.history-tab.view-history.WebHome]] and saves the imported Page as its first revision, at version "1.1". | ||
| 7 | |"Import as backup package"|Keeps the [[authors>>doc:documentation.xs.user.base.page.authors.WebHome]] recorded in the package. Without it, the author of every imported Page is set to the user performing the import. |
