# Support for Migration of SMS Channel Metadata from Sandbox to Production and Vice Versa

You can now migrate SMS channels metadata from a sandbox org to a production org using metadata APIs and the tools that you're comfortable with.

**Where:** This change applies to Messaging for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Apple Messages for Business, SMS, and LINE. [View supported editions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.messaging_editions.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

**Why:** When you move the metadata from the sandbox to production, the channel is deactivated in sandbox and activated in production, and vice versa.

**How:** For more information on how to migrate the SMS channel metadata, see [Moving Messaging Data Between Sandbox and Production](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.messaging_move_sms_channel_metadata_sandbox.htm&language=en_US).
