Migration guide ​

If you have been already using the older version of the Habit Tracker template you can migrate the data to the new version instead of starting from scratch again.

INFO

This guide is for migrating to the version 1.1.

What version do I have?

Go to Help > About the template and there is the information at the top of the page.

Read also What's New to know about the changes and new features in this version.

Migrate to 1.1 ​

Because migrating the data manually is quite complicated process, I made a tool for this purpose which helps you do it automatically.

Prepare ​

Before you use the tool, make sure you have the "ready to use" template of the version 1.2 duplicated into your Notion workspace.

It is also a good idea to rename the old version so that the name is different from the new one, to easily distinguish between them.

INFO

You can migrate from any previous version.

Migrate data ​

Use the migrate tool located at migrate.notionself.com.

The migration process should be straightforward and intuitive.

Just login with Notion and allow access to the templates you are going to work with.

Select the old version as a source and the new one as a destination, wait until the check is done and click the migrate button.

Migrate tool

Then wait until the migration is completed.

WARNING

The migration might take several minutes depending on the number of items transfered.

Finish manually ​

Go to the new template and check if the data migrated successfully.

Unfortunately not everything can be achieved automatically as Notion API doesn't support all the features.

Habit buttons ​

Habit buttons won't transfer automatically. But you can easily copy & paste them. Only thing you have to do after is to update the last step to add to the right Record database and set the Habit property to the associated habit.

Habit detail pages ​

If you now open the habit detail page, its content will be empty.

Empty habit detail page

It has an easy fix, click on the Habit template in the page's body which will apply the template on the page and recreate its content. Do this for each habit.

INFO

If you see only empty body and no template options, you've probably entered an empty line or another content. Delete all the content, empty lines included, and the templates options will appear.
