Demo Migrations
Use Demo Migrations as a controlled evaluation space: start a limited test, inspect Statistics and History, and keep Demo evidence distinct from purchased migration activity.
Demo Migrations
Section titled “Demo Migrations”Demo Migrations is the Dashboard entry point for choosing the Demo activity before any Demo connection setup or configuration begins.
Open an existing Demo with Start, or create another Demo with Start a New Demo. After that selection, the Demo opens its own Connect Stores, Configuration, and Migration workflow.
Open Demo Migrations
Section titled “Open Demo Migrations”- Sign in to Next-Cart.
- Expand Migrations in the Dashboard sidebar.
- Select Demo Migrations from the expanded group.
- Select Start for an existing Demo Migration, or select Start a New Demo to create a new Demo.
- If you start a new Demo, choose the Source Platform and Target Platform when prompted. If you reopen an existing Demo, confirm that its migration path is the one you intend to test.
- Continue through Connect Stores, the reduced Configuration available for Demo, and Migration.
