Migrate from PARA to Second Brain

Key Steps

1. Scroll down to the PARA template and locate the toggle named "migration" to find all databases that need to be migrated.

2. Open the Second Brain template and go to the migration page.

3. Return to the PARA template and drag the migration toggle into the migration page in the Second Brain template.

4. Click on "visit" to open the page. Before moving pages for each database, ensure that property names match in both templates.

5. If property names do not match, make necessary adjustments to ensure consistency.

Cautionary Notes

• Ensure property names match in both templates to prevent data loss or misalignment.

• Double-check the migration process to avoid moving incorrect data or missing pages.

Tips for Efficiency

• If there are not many resources in the PARA template, move over the Resources Database pages at once and assign topics manually afterwards.

• For a large number of pages in the Resource Database, move pages over topic by topic.

• Use filters to narrow down results in the old resource database by topic before moving pages.

• Add corresponding topics in the Second Brain template and apply topic filters to efficiently organise and migrate pages.
