Frequently asked questions about the JotSpot to Google Sites migration.

How long after I submit the migration form should I expect my content in my Google Site?

This is dependent on system load and wiki size. The longest you should have to wait is 3 days, although most should be fairly instantaneous. You will receive email once it is complete.

How do you handle users in the migration?

Google Sites uses Google Accounts or Google Apps accounts for authentication. The migration will credit initial page imports to the site owner. The migration will not map user accounts, so once your wiki has been migrated you should invite users via the Sharing tab in Google Sites. JotSpot groups will not be migrated. Once your content has been migrated you can invite users to the site.

Important note: Sites does not yet support page level permissions so when you invite users to your new Google Site they will be able to view any content migrated. If there is sensitive content in your Jot wiki you will want to delete it before you request the migration. You can create another site for this sensitive information and only invite a select group of people.

What content will be migrated?

• Web pages in JotSpot will be migrated to Web pages in Google Sites (with attachments and comments)
• Blogs in JotSpot will be migrated to Announcement pages in Google Sites
• File cabinets and photo galleries in JotSpot will be migrated to File cabinets in Google Sites

We recommend you export your spreadsheets to csv and import them into Google Spreadsheets. They can then be embedded in your new site. Calendars will not be migrated, but you will be able to embed Google Calendars into your site.

JavaScript and unsafe HTML will be removed from Web pages at import. We also remove any jot script (jot:tags) -- Sites does not yet support code execution.

When will my JotSpot wiki be shut down if I request a migration?
