These problems could result in missing data, corrupted display and other unexpected situations. Therefore, you need to re-migrate to ensure that your data will work properly on the target site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-605a4ae5-3f23-4823-9824-6e97ecbe87ba\">To avoid issues like duplicate or mixed data during re-migration, it\u2019s crucial to use the &#8220;Clear Current Data on Target Store Before Re-migration&#8221; option. This feature deletes existing data on your Target store for the selected entities, ensuring a clean slate for the new migration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-8aed6a7a-1477-4708-8128-8e058277f6ef\">For example, if you\u2019re migrating \u201cProducts\u201d and \u201cTaxes\u201d from your Source store, enabling this option will remove these entities from the Target store before starting the migration, preventing conflicts or duplications. This ensures a smooth and error-free re-migration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This option will erase all the existing data (that you\u2019ve chosen to migrate) on your Target Store. Once it is completed, the action can\u2019t be reversed so we highly recommend you make a backup before starting the migration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you have any other questions, please reach out to us via:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.zendesk.com\/hc\/en-us\/signin?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Flitextension.zendesk.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Frequests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ticket system<\/a>\u00a0(highly recommended)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:contact@litextension.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact@litextension.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":6838,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6048","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/6048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6048"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/6048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7233,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/6048\/revisions\/7233"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/6838"}],"next":[{"title":"Do I have to pay extra money for Recent Data Migration ?
