# LearnDash Migration

The LearnDash Migration add-on is designed to help you import course content from other learning management systems, such as LearnPress, Tutor LMS, Sensei LMS, or Lifter LMS.What it is for:- Migrating lessons
- Migrating topics
- Migrating quizzes
- Migrating questions

What it isn’t for:- Migrating course progression
- Migrating course meta ( like categories, tags, custom fields, etc )
- Migrating media

Due to the difference between the LMS features and options, we’ve outlined some of the important things below for each LMS when moving over to LearnDash.## **Migration Process**

1. Install the Migration plugin from LearnDash LMS > Addons
2. Navigate to LearnDash LMS > Settings > Advanced > Migration
3. Select the LMS you want to migrate from, then select the course you want to migrate
4. Click Migrate Course

## **LearnPress**

- Sections will become Lessons
- Lessons will become Topics
- Features specific to LearnPress ( requirements, target audience, sale price, featured list, etc ) will not get moved over

## Tutor LMS

- Topics will become Lessons
- Lessons will become Topics
- Features specific to Tutor LMS ( difficulty level, Q&A, targeted audience, requirements, etc ) will not get moved over

## **Sensei LMS**

- Modules will become section headings
- Sensei Pro question types will convert into single-choice question types
- Be sure to verify course/lesson content after migration due to Sensei-specific blocks

## Lifter LMS

- LifterLMS Courses, Sections, Lessons, Topics, Quizzes, and Questions turn into LearnDash data types with the same name (Ex. Lessons are converted into Lessons)
- Supported LifterLMS question types: True or False, Multiple Choice, Picture Choice
    - True or False converts to Single Choice
    - Multiple Choice converts to Multiple Choice
    - Picture Choice converts to Multiple Choice
- Features specific to LifterLMS ( sale price, tracks, difficulties, engagements, etc) will not get moved over

**Note:** We are always looking to improve our products. If you have any suggestions or improvements for the migration plugin, please let us know so we can consider them for a future release.**Important Reminder:** Double-check your course and lesson content after migration, especially for Sensei LMS and Lifter LMS. Some LMS-specific blocks might not translate perfectly, so it’s worth a quick review.
