Review Demo Results

Review Demo Results

Review the completed Demo sample to decide whether the migration path is suitable, what must change before purchase or Full Migration, and whether any requirement needs an Add-on, Custom Service, or target-store preparation. This page owns the immediate decision after Demo completion; use Validate Demo Results for the complete representative validation checklist.

When to review

Complete this review immediately after Demo Migration reaches a final state and before relying on the sample for a purchase, scope, or configuration decision.

Before you start

Prepare:

• the completed Demo activity and migration path;
• Success, Failed, and Skipped results;
• source identifiers for the sampled records;
• access to the target-store admin and storefront where applicable;
• the expected source values and relationships;
• a findings log for Pass, Pass with accepted limitations, and Fail decisions.

Make the Demo decision

1. Confirm the completed Demo activity

   Verify the migration path, completion time, selected data, and any Failed or Skipped results.

2. Apply the detailed validation checklist

   Use Validate Demo Results to sample representative Products, Customers, Orders, Pages, supporting relationships, and important platform-model differences.

3. Separate Demo limitations from defects

   Confirm that the finding is not caused by the limited Demo scope or unavailable purchased-service features.

4. Classify every actionable difference

   Assign the finding to connection setup, source data, standard configuration, an Add-on, Custom Service, target-store preparation, or a platform-model limitation.

5. Choose the next decision

   Proceed when the representative result is usable and all required changes are understood. Revise and repeat the Demo when a supported correction needs new evidence. Stop and reassess when an essential requirement remains unsupported or unsafe.

Expected Demo limitations

Do not classify these conditions as defects:

• no more than 10 Products, Customers, Orders, or Pages are included;
• related Taxes, Manufacturers, or Categories exceed 10 because they support selected records;
• Reviews and Coupons are unavailable;
• Add-ons are unavailable;
• Customer and Order IDs are not preserved;
• Customization is unavailable;
• complete purchased-service settings are not present in Demo.

A successful Demo is not final migration approval

Demo provides representative evidence. Complete record coverage, purchased features, target-store readiness, and launch-critical behavior still require Full Migration and complete validation.

Classify findings

Finding	Next action
Connection or access issue	Correct and verify the platform connection.
Source record is incomplete or inconsistent	Correct or document the source data before purchased migration work.
Data selection, Additional Option, or standard mapping must change	Update Configure Your Migration.
Supported filtering, field or database mapping, or target-value transformation is required	Confirm the required Add-on is purchased and define the rule.
Non-standard data, relationship, destination, or logic is required	Prepare a Custom Service requirement.
Target Platform cannot represent the source behavior directly	Approve a supported fallback or required target-side configuration.
Difference is caused by a Demo limit	Validate it later through the purchased service.

Decision output

Record:

• migration path and Demo completion time;
• detailed validation result;
• accepted Demo limitations;
• configuration changes;
• Add-on or Custom Service requirements;
• target-store preparation tasks;
• unresolved blockers;
• decision to proceed, revise, or stop.

If the issue cannot be classified or reproduced, open a ticket with the Demo activity, affected data type, representative identifiers, expected result, and masked evidence.

Next step

When the result is acceptable, continue to Configure Your Migration or Review the Full Migration Configuration.
