1 1  Here is a summary of the steps I took to configure this XWiki website via GUI. The configurations required for your XWiki website may vary depending on your needs. Being logged in as the admin user, the **Administration** page can be found here: Triple bar icon (upper right corner) > Administer Wiki. Here you can find the different options like **Look & Feel** or **Extensions**.
