Content migration

Move the right content—not just every file.

Bring content into Pickit through a built-in connection, a migration from another system or a custom sync. Plan the material, context and access people need in the new workflow.

A closer look

Decisions before moving your content.

Choose a connection or migration path.

Pickit has built-in source connections for SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox and Occtoo. We can also help migrate content from other systems and build a custom sync when you need an ongoing connection.

Review the source’s API or export options and the files and information that need to move. Choose a one-time migration or an ongoing connection around where your team will maintain the content.

Which files should you keep, deduplicate or archive?

Start with the content needed for the audience's first task. Separate material to keep from duplicates, obsolete versions and files that belong in an archive.

A smaller, useful library can establish the structure before you move the rest. Agree what will remain available in the old system while the first audience begins using Pickit.

Which information and links need to come across?

Review names, tags, usage rights and other information that helps people choose the right material. Compare it with the fields and library structure in Pickit.

Include old links, portal entry points and shared folders in the plan. Decide which need replacing and where recipients will find content after the move. Assign owners for both the content and audience access.

Where will future changes be maintained?

A one-time move and an ongoing source connection need different ownership decisions. Define where future changes will be made and how later import runs interact with edits made in Pickit.

Review update, deletion and permission behavior for the selected source. Identify who prepares the content, configures the connection, validates the result and maintains it after launch.

What must work before people switch?

Use representative files to check content, metadata, previews, access and the actions your audience needs. Include a changed file and a restricted item so the test covers more than a successful upload.

Have a user find and use material through the intended application or shared destination. When the result is ready, agree the cutover, introduction and ongoing owner.

Customer story

Rejmes

Rejmes spent time organizing its existing material before introducing Pickit. That work created a central library for images and presentations, followed by Boards for contextual updates.

A few useful answers.

Do we have to move everything at once?

A staged approach can start with one library, campaign or audience. Agree what stays in the existing system, what the first release must support and how the next stage will be evaluated.

Will every tag, folder and old link be preserved?

Map the required metadata and structure to the selected import route. Test important links and destination behavior explicitly; a file import does not automatically reproduce every feature or URL of another system.

Bring a sample. Make the first move useful.

We can review your content, its context and the workflow you want to improve, then define a practical first step.
