What's new in Sitecore Experience Platform tools and modules
There are a number of tools and modules that extend the functionality available in the XP 10.4 platform. These new tools can also be used with older versions of XP.
XM to XM Cloud Content Migration Tool
The XM to XM Cloud Content Migration Tool helps you to move content, media and user data from a source XM on-prem instance to a target XM Cloud environment. This tool acts as middleware that simplifies the task of entering and selecting data, and orchestrating the migration. It supports the migration of content from XM versions 10.1 and later. For more information, and to download the tool, see XM to XM Cloud Content Migration Tool.
xDB to CDP Migration Tool
This tool helps you to migrate data from Sitecore Platform Experience Platform to Sitecore Customer Data Platform (CDP) using Sitecore Connect. The current iteration of the tool migrates known contacts, facets, and contact lists. You can use it with all versions of XP from 9.0 onwards. To learn about the tool, see Migrating customer data from XP (xDB) to CDP. The xDB to CDP Migration tool is available here.
Codeless Schema Extensions module
The Codeless Schema Extensions module enables business users to extend the xConnect schema without requiring code development. This means that without using code, you can:
-
Extend xDB's schema/facets
-
Save data to a contact using Sitecore Forms
-
Leverage the new facets in:
-
Personalization
-
Segmentation
-

Coming soon: XP Analytics Extractor
This is an open source tool that allows you to extract interaction data from xConnect to a CSV file or an SQL database. This allows you to create custom charts and reports in an analytics tool of your choice. It also includes a solution that creates reports derived from the extracted data in Power BI.
With the XP Analytics Extractor, you can:
-
Combine xDB data with other data sets for greater insight.
-
Retain long tail analytics in a BI infrastructure, while pruning your XP environment. This can reduce hosting complexity.
You can use the tool with all versions of XP from 10.0 onwards. Information about how to access the tool will follow shortly.
