Learn how to move your content and configuration into Drupal 9, upgrade modules, and write and execute your migration.

Whether you're coming from Drupal 6 or 7, or another platform, you'll learn how to migrate your content into Drupal, the overall process of mapping functionality to Drupal 9, and how migrations fit into the overall process of building out your Drupal 9 site.

The course takes Drupal 10 readiness into account, so you’ll also be ready for Drupal 10’s release or to migrate directly to Drupal 10, depending on the timing of your migration project.
