# Migration Notes

A **Migration Note** is a small credit line on a page that was imported from an older website. It records the original page address and the date and time of the import, for example:

Migrated from https://old-site.example.org.uk/walks on Thursday, 8 August 2026, 1:11:00 pm

The line is public, so visitors (and editors) can open the old page while both sites are running in parallel. It is not a content block you would add by hand on a page you are writing from scratch.

## Where it comes from

When a site is migrated, NGX adds a Migration Note row to each imported page. The default label is **Migrated from**. The row type also appears in the **Row Type** dropdown so you can open an existing note, change its type, or (rarely) add one if an imported page lost its credit line.

You do not fill in a rich editor. The note is the label, the source URL, and the import time.

## Removing notes when the site goes live

Once the new site is the one members use, the old URLs no longer need to be advertised on every page.

1. Open **Admin > System Settings** and go to the migration settings.
2. The page counts how many pages still show a migration note.
3. Use the control there to remove them all in one go when you are ready.

Do not delete notes one page at a time unless you have a reason to keep some and drop others.
