LearnDash Migration

The LearnDash Migration addon is designed to help you bring your course content over from other learning management systems like LearnPress, Tutor LMS, Sensei LMS, or Lifter LMS.

What it is for:

• Migrating lessons
• Migrating topics
• Migrating quizzes
• Migrating questions

What it isn’t for:

• Migrating course progression
• Migrating course meta ( like categories, tags, custom fields, etc )
• Migrating media

Due to the difference between the LMS features and options, we’ve outlined some of the important things below for each LMS when moving over to LearnDash.
