# About Tableau Content Migration Tool

This set of articles guides you through setting up, using and maintaining the Tableau Content Migration Tool.

**Note**: The Tableau Content Migration Tool is not recommended for migrations when moving from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud. To migrate from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud, use the [Tableau Migration SDK](https://help.tableau.com/current/api/migration_sdk/en-gb/index.html). For Tableau Content Migration Tool recommended use cases, see [Tableau Content Migration Tool Use Cases](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-gb/cmt-use-cases.htm#cmt-use-cases)

## What is Content Migration Tool?

The Content Migration Tool provides an easy way to copy or migrate content between Tableau Server sites. You can do this between sites on a single Tableau Server installation, or if you have user-based licensing, between sites on separate installations (for example, between a development instance of Tableau Server and a production installation). The Content Migration Tool user interface walks you through the steps necessary to build a "migration plan" that you can use once or as a template for multiple migrations.

Before migrating content, we recommend reviewing the [Content Governance](https://help.tableau.com/current/blueprint/en-gb/bp_governance_in_tableau.htm#content-governance-in-tableau) section in Tableau Blueprint.
