Steps

To upgrade the pre-installed standard flavor of the wiki with the Distribution Wizard, once the distribution has been upgraded:

1. Start the XWiki instance.
2. Log in with a user that has programming rights.
3. Choose how to proceed in the Welcome step of the Distribution Wizard:

   

   • "Continue" moves to the next step.
   • "Later" prompts you again after XWiki is restarted. Its "Replay recorded actions" sub-option instead sends you to the Extension History, where a history file exported from another wiki can be replayed.
   • "Never" discards the Distribution Wizard, leaving you to import the XAR yourself.
4. Upgrade the extensions installed on the wiki. On a subwiki you can only check the extensions installed on that subwiki; on the main wiki, "Check for updates" computes the plan for the main wiki and the global namespace, and "Check for updates on farm" for every wiki of the farm:

FAQ

Why do I need programming rights to run the Distribution Wizard when upgrading?

Extension Pages may need to be modified during the upgrade process. If the upgrade is performed with a user that does not have Programming Rights, these pages might not be updated correctly.

Are all the wikis upgraded automatically?

No. On a farm you have to run the Distribution Wizard on every wiki, reaching each of them from the wiki index.
