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 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.
