Ok,
Thanks Vincent, the best was to test it ! :-) (and it's what you said)
So :
- without "with history" option selected : local page history is
overwritten, new page version is imported page current version (for example
"1.16", but without previous versions)
- with "with history" option selected : local page history is
overwritten, new page version is "1.1"
To facilitate migrations, I think the ideal option would be "add imported page
version on top of local page version", just as if importing an existing page would be
a modification of this page.
This way, it would be possible very easily to:
- compare page before and after .xar import
- rollback a page to previous state (without having to reimport a previously
exported .xar on top of it ...)
What do you think ?

Hello,
I would like to know how the option "with history" in the import tool should be
understood ?
Does it mean :
- history of existing pages will be preserved (new revision added for last
revision of imported page)
No
- history of imported pages will be preserved and replace local pages history
Yes
- history of imported pages will be preserved as well as local pages history
(concatenation)
No
At least that's what I understand (haven't checked it).
Ludovic, can you confirm?
I added a line for this in the admin guide, but need to detail the exact way it works
(btw I need to be sure of how it works before importing pages in my own wiki ;-) )
