I've read somewhere in the documentation that there are tools planned to help migration from Umbraco v7 to v8. I understand it may not be possible to migrate code and packages.
What is the status of content migration support between v7 and v8? Can we expect anything in the near future? If not, do you have any tips that can help make the process smoother?
A tool will be made available in the future - but there is no scheduled date when this will be released.
Suggestion was to raise at Codegarden in May... Which at least implies it will be after May :-)
Umbraco 7 will still be super great to manage the content of sites on for foreseeable future!! .. the migration will involve a lot of work updating templates and replacing 3rd party packages etc... This will be an easier task once more things like the migration tool are created for V8... we just don't know when!
Would review each month to see how much further on everything is - but we'll probably be in this state of flux between old sites on V7 and new sites V8... for a while...
v7 to v8 data migration
Hi,
I've read somewhere in the documentation that there are tools planned to help migration from Umbraco v7 to v8. I understand it may not be possible to migrate code and packages.
What is the status of content migration support between v7 and v8? Can we expect anything in the near future? If not, do you have any tips that can help make the process smoother?
Thanks in advance/
Coincidentally I've asked this same question via Umbraco support today. Their reply is 'no further update' from this post...
