Wiki for company knowledge with page rights, version history, forms and add-on applications.
Who is XWiki best for?
XWiki is best for companies that want an enterprise wiki for internal knowledge on servers they control.
Internal knowledge bases
Every change is versioned, and rights can be set on a page, its children or a whole wiki.
Structured information
Forms and page templates turn wiki pages into records you can query, and applications add features on top.
Moving off Confluence
XWiki SAS offers Confluence migration tools that bring over pages, history, users, permissions and attachments.
Large organisations
One instance can run many sub-wikis, with LDAP and other sign-in options and a REST API for integrations.
