Hi

I am a bit confused and worried about migrating.

I deliberately didn’t put a bunch of my Pickaxes into studios because I didn’t want them available anywhere but in my members area where I have them embedded.

Now I see that they are all going to be in a studio. So can you explain how I can keep them available in my members area but nowhere else, please?

Thanks

Hi @barry_rodgers …

Presumably, you are using them via embeds or similar if not currently in a studio… In my case, all my pickaxes that were unassigned to a studio ended up in a studio called ‘Other Tools’ (automatically as a consequence of migration). These are still accessible retaining the links and embeds I originally set up, they are just grouped in the Other Tools Studio which of course, I do not have to deploy as a studio!

I would suspect that this will be the case with your also.

Thanks for that.

I think I am looking at the new “studios” in the wrong way. I have a fear of migrating and suddenly having a lot of messing about to do with everything I already have set up.
