Term Stores

Migrating Term Stores is not supported by the app.

If you would like to copy Term Sets or Term Groups from a Term Store, navigate into the Term Store at your source. Select the sets or groups you'd like to copy, and continue with the migration.

For example, if you would like to copy Term Sets from your source, navigate into the Term Store, then the Term Group, and you will see the Term Sets. Select the Term Sets you would like to include and start your copy.
