The Difference Between Migrating and Converting
Understanding the distinction between migrating and converting is crucial for sellers transitioning from Corjl 1.0 to Corjl 2.0. These are two separate processes that work together to complete your transition.
🔄 What is Migration?
Migration is the one-time account-level transition from Corjl 1.0 to Corjl 2.0. It moves your seller profile and settings to the new platform, but does NOT automatically update your designs.
🔧 What is Conversion?
Conversion is the manual process of updating individual designs from 1.0 functionality to 2.0 functionality. This must be done after migration for each design you want to update.
📋 The Workflow
- Migrate your account from 1.0 to 2.0 (one-time process)
- Convert your designs manually, one by one
- Fix any disconnected elements (like clipping masks)
- Test converted designs
⚠️ Important Notes
- Migration only moves your account - designs stay in 1.0 format
- Conversion is required for each design individually
- Clipping masks will disconnect during conversion and need reconnection
- Both steps are necessary to fully use 2.0 features
🎯 Summary
Migration = Moving your account to 2.0 (one-time)
Conversion = Updating designs to use 2.0 features (manual per design)
Don't assume migration automatically updates your designs - conversion is a separate manual process!
