154 += Replay Install or Upgrade =
155 +
156 +Starting with version 7.1 you can record an install or upgrade and replay it on a different wiki:
157 +* You start by following the steps described in the [[Clean Install>>||anchor="HCleanInstall"]], [[Upgrade||anchor="HUpgrade"]] or [[Upgrade with Repair||anchor="HUpgradewithRepair"]] sections. The decisions you take (e.g. which extension to repair, which extensions to upgrade, merge conflict resolution, page cleanup) are automatically recorded (the XWiki WAR must have version 7.1+).
158 +* After you finished with the install/upgrade of the default/recommended UI (XAR), you can install/upgrade additional extensions.
159 +* Then you go to the [[Extension History>>extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application||anchor="HExtensionHistory"]] section in the [[wiki administration>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application]] and export the actions that you wish to be replayed on a different wiki
160 +* Access the wiki where you want to replay the recorded actions. When the Distribution Wizard appears, skip it by choosing the "Replay recorded actions" sub-option of the "Later" button from the Welcome step.(((

162 +)))
163 +* This will take you to the Extension History (works even if the database is empty, but in this case you'll have to login with the ##superadmin## user)(((
164 +{{image reference="extensionHistory.png"/}}
165 +)))
166 +* Import the history file you have previously exported, select the records to replay and replay them. Note that you can replay on multiple wikis at the same time, if you have Programming Rights. If there are questions (e.g. a merge conflict) that don't have an answer in the recorded history file then you will be prompted to answer them.
167 +* The Distribution Wizard should not appear next time you restart XWiki, but if it does, just click continue.
