Migration works the same whether you choose to migrate some or all of your content. However, you can move some of your content to evaluate the process or when you have many dashboards and want to migrate in segments. ## Before you begin Role required: dashboard\_admin or higher ## About this task Run and test the migration first on a single, non-production instance. After you’re satisfied with the results, launch the migration on the production instance. This task is only applicable on instances that are upgraded to releases Xanadu or later. Net new instances from Xanadu onward do not have the **Ready to migrate** column or the **Switch to Next UI** button. **Note:** You cannot use update sets to move the migrated material from a non-production instance to a production instance. Test the migration on the non-production instance and then use Migration Center functionality to migrate the production instance. If content on a dashboard is used in only one dashboard, it will be available only on that dashboard after migration. If it is used in more than one dashboard, that content is migrated to the Platform Analytics experience library. The migrated dashboard appears in the Platform Analytics library. The original Core UI dashboard is listed as Inactive in the library. The **Ready to migrate** column can show one of four values: - **Yes** — the dashboard is ready to migrate. - **No** — the dashboard isn't ready to migrate yet. If you edit a dashboard that was previously marked **Yes**, its value changes back to **No** until it's reevaluated. - **Already migrated** — the dashboard is ready to migrate and an active Next Experience version of it already exists. - **Not applicable** — the dashboard isn't a Core UI dashboard, or it's already in Next Experience. You can migrate a Core UI dashboard from the library again as long as it's still the active Core UI version. ## Procedure 1. Navigate to **All** > **Platform Analytics** > **Library** > **Dashboards**. 2. On the Dashboards list, select the dashboards you want to migrate. Choose from dashboards that have Yes in the **Ready to migrate** column. 3. Select **Switch to Next UI**. \[Omitted image "data-mig-selected-from-library.png"\] Alt text: Dashboard library with two Core UI dashboards that are ready to migrate selected and the Switch to Next UI button highlighted A message confirming the number of dashboards you want to migrate appears. Select **Switch to Next UI** again to open the Migration Center. 4. In the Migration Center, you can compare the two versions of the selected dashboards, view the logs, and choose which to migrate to Next Experience. For more information, see [Evaluate full data migration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/data-migration-evaluate.md). 5. Select **See All Content** to replace the list of selected dashboards with the list of all dashboards on the instance. 6. Select the dashboard's name in the Migration Center to edit it before you activate. 7. When you're satisfied, choose which dashboards to migrate and select **Activate selected**.\[Omitted image "data-mig-activate-selected.png"\] Alt text: Migration center with two dashboards selected and the Activate selected button enabled. ## Result In the library, migrated dashboards are listed next to their Core UI counterparts. The Core UI versions are labeled **Active**=False. The Next Experience versions have **Ready to migrate**=Not Applicable. ## What to do next Verify that the migrated dashboards have all the features of the Core UI dashboards, either as fully migrated content or as iframed content.
