Five importers ship today. Each has a page that says, field by field, what comes across and what is left behind, because the only question worth answering before a migration is what you are going to lose.

Every page lists the mapping and the ceilings. None of them claims a step the importer does not perform.

True of all five
What an import is, and is not.
These five sentences are written once and rendered on every importer page, because five copies of one paragraph is five chances for four of them to go stale.
- An import is a one-off copy, not a running sync. Nothing is written back to the source, and running the same import twice creates a second project with the same tasks in it.
- Your credentials are never stored. They travel with the request, make the calls and are discarded; there is no token table behind this.
- There is no undo. If an import is wrong, delete the project it made and run it again.
- Every import writes an audit row: which source, how many columns, how many tasks, who ran it and whether it finished cleanly.
- The person who runs the import becomes a manager on the new project, and the project takes your organisation's default visibility.
Questions
Before you migrate.
Is an import a one-off copy or a running sync?
A one-off copy. Nothing is written back to the source, nothing here changes when the source does, and running the same import twice creates a second project with the same tasks in it.
Are my API tokens stored?
No. They travel with the request, make the calls and are discarded. There is no token table behind the importer.
Can I undo an import?
There is no undo button. If an import is wrong, delete the project it created and run it again. Every import does leave an audit row: which source, how many columns, how many tasks, who ran it and whether it finished cleanly.
What if the importer does not bring the field I need?
Export a CSV from your current tool and use the paste importer instead. It is on every plan and it maps an assignee and a due date, which the live importers do not.
