# Import and export

## Import and export <a href="#undefined" id="undefined"></a>

Large-scale migration services can be largely performed in 2 ways. We recommend that you use the premium services for large-scale migration (free).

1. **Migration through hard conversion**:
   * Service interruption is required, and you must upgrade an application.
   * Reserve the best time to interrupt the service.
   * Export related data in the correct import format of the Game Chat platform.
   * Import the data to Game Chat through the Game Chat dashboard.
   * Validate and check data integrity.

Through this procedure, you can manage the migration process effectively and make a better start of a new chat service on the Game Chat platform. With premium support, you can proceed with these steps more easily by communicating with the engineering team in real time.

## Import <a href="#undefined" id="undefined"></a>

1. You can enter a large volume of data through API.
2. If you forward the data converted into the data format (JSON) suitable for Game Chat, you can add data in bulk at a specified time. Premium support services are recommended.

## Export <a href="#undefined" id="undefined"></a>

Each menu has export, and the exported data can be downloaded in Help => Activities & Files.
