# Migrating Content with Transmogrifier

About
: Migrating website content into a Plone site using Transmogrifier

Level
: Intermediate Developers

**Training Objective**

This training will cover the necessary steps to export your current site's content
and migrate it to a new Plone site. The import process uses an add-on called
'Transmogrifer'.

In the Calvin and Hobbes universe, the Transmogrifier is an invention of Calvin's that would turn one thing into another.
Similarly, [collective.transmogrifier](https://github.com/mjpieters/collective.transmogrifier)
provides support for building pipelines that turn one thing into another, hence greatly facilitating content import and export.
This is a life saver when you need to migrate content from one site to another, regardless of the CMS platform.
