Use the automated process to create a local external client app that replaces your existing local connected app. After migration, the old connected app remains as a read-only version in App Manager. External client apps created through migration are secure.

A window opens with a link to the new external client app.
After an external client app is created from a connected app, the connected app remains as a read-only version. After it's created, make all changes to the new external client app. Changes made to the external client app don’t change the read-only connected app that created it. If you delete the external client app, then the connected app becomes active again. However, the settings and policies remain as they were when the external client app was created.
After migration, the migrated connected app doesn't show up in Notification Delivery Settings or the Briefcase connected app assignment.
