Migration runs in the background as a secure processing job.

During this time:

\* You can leave the page safely

\* You do not need to keep the browser open

\* Your progress will be handled automatically

Once complete, your data will appear in your **Library**.

## Troubleshooting

**My file won’t upload**

\* Ensure the file is a `.zip`

\* Re-download export from provider

**Migration shows incomplete data**

\* Some providers exclude images or artifacts by design

**Nothing appears in my library**

\* Wait for migration status to complete

\* Refresh the library page

## Security note

Your exported data is processed securely and used only for migration into your Monorail AI account. It is not shared externally.
