Migrating projects from Revizto 4 to Revizto 5 Follow
If you have an ongoing Revizto 4 project and you want to take advantage of new Revizto 5 features, migrate the project to Revizto 5 format. This option is available to license administrators and project administrators with Content creator license role.
During the migration, a new Revizto 5 project is created, while the old Revizto 4 project is archived to prevent accidental access to it.
The migration has the following limitations:
- Scenes are not migrated. You have to re-export them after the migration.
- Viewpoints are not migrated. You can migrate them manually.
- Only the latest versions of sheets are migrated.
- Procore RFI integration: migrated issues do not retain their connections to Procore RFI module. You have to reattach them to RFIs manually. You cannot attach issues to closed RFIs.
- Settings for exporting data from third-party software to Revizto will require revision.

Migration FAQ
Q: Will the issue IDs remain the same after the migration?
A: Yes, the issue IDs will remain the same.
Note that project migration is the only way to preserve issue IDs. Other ways of moving project data from Revizto 4 to Revizto 5 (such as migrating a project copy or importing issues to a new project) might change issue IDs.
Q: The sheet version history is not migrated. Is there any way to view it after the migration?
A: You can view the sheet version history in the archived Revizto 4 project. We recommend that you ask the project owner to do it, as they can access the project without restoring it from an archive.
Q: Is there any way to migrate viewpoints?
A: You can migrate viewpoints manually.
To migrate viewpoints from Revizto 4 to Revizto 5:
- Before migrating the project, in Revizto 4, open the source project and create a "VP" stamp template.
- Use this template to place a "VP" stamp in each viewpoint that you want to migrate.
- Migrate the project.
- In Revizto 5, open the destination project, cycle through the "VP" issues, and save each viewpoint.
- Delete the "VP" issues.
If you have not created the issues before migrating the project, you still can migrate the viewpoints. Replace step 3 of the procedure with the following:
- In Revizto 4, export the "VP" issues.
- In Revizto 5, open the destination project and import the issues.
