Select CMS

On the Select CMS page of the wizard, you choose your CMS source, and then enter a name and description. Using the SitecoreAI Pathway app, there are two migration options:

  • Sitecore Website - this option is designed for migrating an existing Sitecore XM/XP site to SitecoreAI using AI to map your current templates, items, and renderings to the closest matching components in your new SitecoreAI project.
  • Any Website - this option lets you migrate content from non-Sitecore sources.
Note

The options available in the SitecoreAI Pathway app depend on the source you chose.

To select the CMS:

  1. In the SitecoreAI Pathway app, click plus.png New Migration.

    The New Migration page opens where you select the CMS and view pertinent information about the migration process by clicking Show Info information.png.

    • To migrate only specific pages of a website or if the website does not have a public sitemap, turn off the Sitemap URL switch and, in the URL field, enter the URL of the pages you want to migrate (for example, https://example.com/page-1 or http://example.com/page-2) with one URL per line.
