Migrate to the new version of the portal

Migrate a portal based on the original theme to the new version to take advantage of the latest portal features:

• Enhancements to the following portal front-end features:
  • SmartDocs API reference documentation
  • Theme editor enhancements
  • Default portal theme and content enhancements
  • Quick start
• Improvements to how developer accounts are managed using the developer identity service

For more information, see What's New?.

Before you migrate

Before you begin, review the following considerations:

• A copy of your portal is made before the migration.
• The new default theme is applied and your custom CSS styles are overwritten. You need to apply your custom CSS styles manually after the migration.
• If the developer identity service is enabled, the new and existing portals share the same user store. Changes to the user store will impact both portals.
• In order to support responsive menus, top-level menu items that contain child objects will no longer be active links.

Steps to migrate

To migrate to the new version of the portal:

1. Select Publish > Portals to view the list of portals.

   This field defaults to *portal-name* Migrated.

The new portal is created with your migrated content and the action is changed to in the Upgraded column.
