Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the migration assistant migrate my library?
A: There’s no need to migrate the “Resource Library” because the library is per-teacher, not per-class, and persists year to year.
Q: Does the migration assistant migrate galleries?
A: No, it does not. For Pages with embedded photo galleries, any embedded photo galleries will be removed since photo galleries are not copied with the rest of the content.
Q: Can I re-run the migration assistant if I don’t like the results?
A: Running the Migration Assistant multiple times for the same class will result in duplicates for each piece of content that is copied.
