Is it possible to edit the Source Store during Migration?

Technically, yes, but editing your source store during migration is not recommended. Learn what can go wrong and how to avoid data issues.

Should I Edit My Source Store During Migration?

Technically, yes, but it's not recommended.

When migration is in progress, Migrationpro is actively reading data from your source store. If you edit, delete, or add records at the same time, it can cause inconsistencies, for example, a product being partially read before your edit is saved, resulting in incomplete or incorrect data in the target store.


What can go wrong:

  • Products may transfer with missing fields if edited mid-migration

  • Deleted items may cause errors in the migration process

  • New records added during migration won't be included, use Recent Data Migration for those afterward

Best practice: Avoid making changes to your source store until the migration is complete. If you need to add new data, run a Recent Data Migration after the full migration finishes.
