# Migrate Data Shares with Legacy Snowflake Data Share Target

Move data shares that are linked to a legacy Snowflake data share target to a Snowflake V2 data share target. Verify that data sharing works before you unlink the legacy target.

### Required Editions

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-data-data_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/f3569962-3c9b-4f83-9d0c-b6a574e785da/images/icon_important.png)

Important Don’t unlink an existing data share from its legacy Snowflake data share target until you verify that the Snowflake V2 connection works. Downstream processes in Snowflake can refer to the database that was created using the legacy target.

Snowflake V2 data share targets replace legacy Snowflake data share targets. Migrate each data share that’s linked to a legacy Snowflake data share target to a Snowflake V2 data share target.

1. In Data 360, go to the Data Shares tab.
2. Select a data share that’s linked to a legacy Snowflake data share target.
3. Link the data share to a Snowflake V2 data share target.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-data-data_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/f3569962-3c9b-4f83-9d0c-b6a574e785da/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note If you see an error stating that you can link only to data share targets of the same type, ignore it. This is a known issue and doesn't block the migration. Click **Save** to continue.
    
    For more information, see [Link or Unlink Data Shares and Data Share Targets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_link_data_shares_with_data_share_target.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Link data shares with a data share target to make them available to an external system. You can also unlink a data share from a data share target.").
4. On the data share’s record home page, confirm that the Snowflake V2 data share target is linked. Then, in Snowflake, confirm that the Snowflake V2 database contains the same objects and data as the legacy database.
5. In Snowflake, swap the Snowflake V2 database into the name used by your existing pipelines and dashboards.
    
    This swap keeps downstream references working. For the automated skill and the SQL function, see [Snowflake documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-integration/zero-copy/salesforce/migrate-legacy-share).
6. On the data share’s record home page, click **Link/Unlink Data Share Target**.
7. Deselect the legacy Snowflake data share target.
    
    When you unlink the legacy target, you will see a warning to delete the database in the data share target account before you unlink it. For this migration, don’t delete the database. You already swapped the Snowflake V2 database into the existing database name, so you can ignore the warning and click Continue.
8. Click **Save**.
