Move in stages with a tested export, a small pilot, clear ownership, and a rollback plan. Verify data, access, and integrations before retiring the old system. Give users one clear place to work during each stage.
What to do next
Prepare the move
Inventory content, owners, permissions, connected workflows, and retention needs. Take an export or backup and test whether it is usable.
Pilot with real users
Move a limited workspace and verify files, links, collaboration, and search. Correct migration issues before moving everything.
Manage the cutover
Announce the working location, pause duplicate changes where practical, and keep the old system available according to your retention plan.
