Hi, By default, when importing without the "as backup" option, all the imported documents, will show up with the current user as being their author, since he was the one that imported them, and any author that the documents may have had before import will be ignored (including for security reasons). When importing "as backup" (i.e. preserving the author), as the name suggests, the author of the imported documents will be... preserved, and they will continue having whatever author they had when they were exported. Hope this helps, Eduard On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 6:57 AM, Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi again,

I am confused about

http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ImportExport#HExportingX...

When exporting, there is the option "BACKUP PACKAGE (AUTHOR PRESERVED)", and when importing there is the option "Import as backup package". What does it mean that the author is preserved, since the contents of the author textbox are always saved in the package, and there is a separate checkbox to preserve the page authorship history?
