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

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.

[xwiki-users] How to export a wrokspace from older xwiki and import it to newer xwiki 8.2.1

[Kumar, Piyush]

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
