- **Structured data and apps:** AppWithinMinutes builds custom data structures by drag and drop. Entries are edited through forms and browsed in filterable tables that XWiki calls livetables.
- **Permissions and sign-in:** User and group management and an advanced permission system are built in. Paid plans add LDAP and Active Directory, then OIDC, Entra ID, CAS and SAML, and SCIM on Enterprise.
- **Extensions:** More than 700 extensions are available: about 600 from the community plus 60 recommended and Pro extensions such as diagrams, task management and calendars.
- **Office and PDF handling:** Office documents can be imported or previewed, images and other attachments previewed in the page, and pages viewed and exported as PDF.
- **Cloud or on-premises:** From the Basic plan up, the same subscription price covers XWiki Cloud or your own servers; Starter is cloud only. One instance can hold several sub-wikis.
