Export from 5.6

Permalink
Is there specific documentation (not the video) which explains how to properly export data from 5.6 for 5.7?

I have the tool installed but need some help finding my way around the interface of Concrete5 to properly export the data. And I work best if there are some step by step instructions rather than 16 minutes of video, much of which does not directly help with this processing. I'm not a regular Concrete5 user, just trying to help with the upgrade, so I would just like the direct knowledge needed for that.

Anyone have a document or blog post which explains that?

Thanks,
Tom

I managed to get one step further and tried the Batches option on the Migration Tool. I get a bunch of HTML when I do that.

_POST['batchPageID'] as $cID) { $r->pages[] = $cID; $batch->removePageID($cID); } } else { $r->error = true; $r->messages = $this->error->getList(); } print Loader::helper('json')->encode($r); exit; } public function view_batch($id = null) { if ($id) { $batch = MigrationBatch::getByID($id); } if (is_object($batch)) { $this->set('batch', $batch); $this->set('pages', $batch->getPages()); } } public function batch_deleted() { $this->set('message', t('Batch deleted.')); $this->view(); } public function view() { $batches = MigrationBatch::getList(); $this->set('batches', $batches); } public function submit() { if ($this->token->validate("submit")) { $batch = MigrationBatch::create($_POST['description']); $this->redirect('/dashboard/migration/batches', 'view_batch', $batch->getID()); } else { $this->error->add($this->token->getErrorMessage()); } } }

getDashboardPaneFooterWrapper();?>

If I'm supposed to do something on that page, it is really hard to figure out what that would be.

I did try clearing the cache but that did not help.

Anyone have ideas on what I'm missing?
