| 1 | XWiki provides multiple ways to import content from other wiki platforms, depending on the source wiki. These options range from dedicated import tools to manual content migration. The most complete and recommended solution is the [[Filter Application>>extensions:Extension.Filter Application]]. This application provides a generic framework for importing content into XWiki and supports multiple data formats through specialized modules. For example, there is a dedicated module for [[importing wiki Pages from Confluence>>extensions:Extension.Filter Confluence XML module]], which allows you to import Pages exported from Confluence (typically as XML) into XWiki. Both the [[Filter Application>>extensions:Extension.Filter Application]] and the [[Confluence import module>>extensions:Extension.Filter Confluence XML module]] are not bundled in XS and must be installed separately as [[extensions>>documentation.extensions.WebHome]]. | ||

| 3 | When you export content from another wiki software and import it into XWiki using such tools, the content can be converted into XWiki syntax, allowing you to benefit from native XWiki features such as [[macros>>xwiki:Help.Macros.WebHome]], [[rendering>>rendering:Main.WebHome]], etc. | ||

| 5 | There are also [[various extensions related to importing wiki content>>extensions:Main.Tags||queryString="do=viewTag&tag=migration"]] that address specific migration scenarios or formats. These extensions may offer partial solutions depending on the source wiki and the desired outcome. | ||

| 7 | In addition to wiki-to-wiki migration tools, there are also [[several extensions related to importing data into XWiki>>extensions:Main.Tags||queryString="do=viewTag&tag=import"]] (e.g. batch imports). These extensions support importing content from various external data sources, such as: | ||
