Hello, Excepted backup database file before migration for restoration, you don't need to export pages delete wiki and import back. IMO, the only one difficulty we have when migrating is the default xwiki.xar: 1- you may need to delete some pages included into xwiki-2.7.xar but removed in xwiki-3.5.1.xar 2- you should merge pages from xwiki-3.5.1.xar you have updated in your wiki 3- other pages could be simply imported
But, how to know if page has been updated since 2.7? My solution is to always reset page version to 1.0 when import pages from last xar.
