Migrating Saved Content
Most content saved in your EBSCO My Folder in the classic interfaces automatically transferred to your dashboard in the new interfaces. However, some content — search alerts, journal alerts, persistent search links, and items in custom or shared folders — did not transfer unless you re-created or migrated it before the new interfaces launched. If you are missing this type of content in your new dashboard, you will need to manually export and re-create it. Note: For the vast majority of students, staff, and faculty, no action is needed.
Follow these instructions if you have not yet re-created or migrated your saved content:
- Review the table outlining Required Action for Saved Content.
- Export Your Saved Content by downloading a report in the new interfaces. This download option will be available until December 31, 2025.
- Follow these instructions for re-creating content:
| Required Action (if any) | Content Type |
|---|---|
| Action required: Content must be exported and manually re-created | |
| No action required: Content was migrated automatically |
|
| No action required: Content cannot be migrated |
