How can I migrate to Zoho Connect as a bundle user?
If you're using a Zoho One, Zoho People Plus, or Zoho Workplace bundle, migration is only possible after all users are onboarded to your organization. Ensure user setup is complete before starting the migration. If you face any difficulties during this process, contact us at support@zohoconnect.com
.
How long does migration take?
The duration depends on the volume of data you have in your Workplace account.
- For smaller migrations, it will take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
- For larger migrations, it may take a few days.
We recommend you to start early to allow enough time for the transition.
Can I run multiple migrations?
Of course! You can repeat the migration steps as often as needed to ensure all data is migrated accurately and meets your needs.
Will there be downtime?
No, there’s no need to worry about downtime. You can keep using both Workplace and Connect without any interruptions while the migration is in progress. It’s like having both doors open—accessing everything you need on both platforms while your data shifts smoothly in the background.
What happens to Workplace's deactivated users?
Deactivated users are migrated as "inactive users" in Zoho Connect. Their content remains accessible unless you choose to delete it per the data retention policy.
What about new content after migration?
You can perform delta migrations to include new content created after the initial migration. However, delta migrations won’t update already migrated items.
Do I need assistance for migration?
No, you can handle the migration independently. However, our support team is available to help you with the steps and any question you may have.
What do I need to start the migration?
To access migration settings in Zoho Connect, you’ll need to have Network Admin privileges. If you’re not a Network Admin yet, no worries! Just reach out to someone in your organization who is an admin, and they can assign you the admin role in a few clicks. Once that’s done, you’ll be ready to dive into the migration setup and make things happen.
How can I track migration progress?
Just head over to the Import page in Zoho Connect, where you can see the status of your migration in real time. You can track what’s done, what’s in progress, and get an overview of how your data is transitioning.
When should I run a delta migration?
Run your final delta migration no later than three business days before you plan to launch your organization in Zoho Connect.
What can I do if I face difficulties during the migration process?
