Migration Guide
This document provides guidance on migrating from other CMS platforms to Sveltia CMS. Specific instructions are provided for Netlify/Decap CMS and Static CMS.
Migrating from Other CMSs
Migrating from other CMS platforms to Sveltia CMS can vary in complexity depending on the source CMS. Below are guides for some of the more common platforms.
Netlify CMS or Decap CMS
Sveltia CMS is designed to be a direct successor to Netlify CMS (now Decap CMS). A migration from Netlify/Decap CMS to Sveltia CMS is intended to be as seamless as possible. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to migrate your existing setup to Sveltia CMS.
Static CMS
Static CMS was a community fork of Netlify CMS that introduced several unique features. While we don’t have a full migration guide for Static CMS, many of the concepts and configurations are similar to those in Netlify CMS. We have documented some of the key differences and considerations when migrating from Static CMS to Sveltia CMS.
Pages CMS
We’re planning to create a migration path for Pages CMS, which was also influenced by Netlify CMS but appears to be in maintenance mode. The core concepts like a YAML configuration file and Git-based content storage are similar to Sveltia CMS. Stay tuned for updates.
Other CMS Platforms
We will continue to expand our migration resources to cover other Git-based headless CMS platforms. If you are using a different CMS and are interested in migrating to Sveltia CMS, check back here for future migration guides or just look at the Start Guide to get started.
