5 -Starting with XWiki 4.2, the Distribution Wizard (also known as DW) was introduced as an experimental feature which helps users migrate their XWiki instances to newer versions without having to manually import the XAR (wiki pages) corresponding to their new version.
5 +The Distribution Wizard (also known as DW) is a feature which has 2 purposes:
6 +* It allows provisioning an empty wiki by allowing the administrator to select a [[Flavor>>platform:Features.Applications||anchor="#HFlavors"]] on the first run of XWiki
7 +* It also allows upgrading an existing XWiki instance to a new version by upgrading all required Extensions

7 -XWiki's Distribution Wizard comes as an aid to ease the migration and installation of the desired user interface (UI, the default set of wiki pages) in your flavour. It works using XWiki's Extension Manager to automatically detect your XWiki version to search, resolve, download and install the UI corresponding to your version. It requires an internet connection in order to work.
