FAQ
How can I organize my content in my wiki?
Content is organized as a hierarchy of nested Pages, which you can rearrange at any time by moving or renaming a Page. See content organization for the full picture.
Do I need to install anything to try XWiki?
No, you can use a hosted XWiki straight away. Installing your own instance is only needed when you want to run and keep your own wiki.
Why can't I find documentation for extensions I have installed in my wiki?
This documentation covers XWiki Standard, the standard package of extensions installed when you install XWiki. For documentation about extensions that are not bundled with XWiki Standard, see the extensions documentation.
