[xwiki-users] How to export a wrokspace from older xwiki and import it to newer xwiki 8.2.1
Hi All, In our existing Xwiki application for each Xwiki a workspace is getting created. WE are now migrating to the new version 8.2.1 and wanted to export whole workspace of a created xwiki and reimport it to newer version. While import it displays below directories to select files to import: AnnotationCode AppWithinMinutes Bolg ColorThemes Dashboard Extensions Faq Invitation Main News Panels Sandbox Scheduler Stats Xwiki I am selecting all the directory and importing it but the pages are not coming proper. Please suggest if in above directories I should unselect some of them which may override on the newer xwiki 8.2.1 instance. Please suggest if some other reason could be the problem. Thanks & Regards, Piyush
Export/Import pages is usually not a very good way to upgrade. Best is to change the WAR files in existing setup and let XWiki automatically migrate what needs to be migrated. This includes migrating old workspaces to wikis. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 10:16 AM, Kumar, Piyush <[email protected]> wrote:

And you have instructions at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade (let us know if those instructions are not clear enough somewhere). Thanks -Vincent
