It contains links to other articles about information you need to prepare before installing the Content Migration Tool and steps to design a migration plan and upgrade existing installations. ## Pre-installation ### Installation requirements The Content Migration Tool can only be installed on Windows operating systems. Before installing, you must be able to connect to the Tableau source site (the site you are migrating from) and the destination site (the site you are migrating to) from the computer where Content Migration Tool is installed. Both the source and destination sites must have a valid [Advanced Management](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-gb/itm_intro.htm) licence. For more information about installing and upgrading Content Migration Tool, see [Install Tableau Content Migration Tool](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-gb/cmt-install.htm). ### Compatibility with Tableau Server The Content Migration Tool supports content migration for Tableau Server versions 2019.3 and later. The table lists compatible versions of Tableau Server based on the installed version of Content Migration Tool. | CMT Version | Tableau Server Version | | --- | --- | | 2025.2x | 2023.3x - 2025.1.x | | 2025.1x | 2023.3x - 2025.1.x | | 2024.3x | 2022.3x - 2024.2.x | | 2024.2x | 2022.3x - 2024.2.x | | 2024.1x | 2022.1x - 2024.1.x | | 2023.3.x | 2021.4.x - 2023.3.x | | 2023.2.x | 2021.3.x - 2023.2.x | | 2023.1.x | 2021.2.x - 2023.1.x | | 2022.4.x | 2021.1.x - 2022.4.x | | 2022.3.x | 2020.4.x - 2022.3.x | | 2022.2.x | 2020.3.x - 2022.2.x | | 2022.1.x | 2020.2.x - 2022.1.x | | 2021.4.x | 2020.1.x - 2021.4.x | | 2021.3.x | 2019.4.x - 2021.3.x | | 2021.2.x | 2019.3.x - 2021.2.x | | 2021.1.x | 2019.3.x - 2021.1.x | | 2020.4.x | 2019.3.x - 2020.4.x | | 2020.3.x | 2019.3.x - 2020.3.x | ### Compatibility with Tableau Cloud Content Migration Tool version 2022.2.1 and later support content migration for all Tableau Cloud deployments. We recommend installing the most recent version from the [Tableau Advanced Management](https://www.tableau.com/en-gb/support/releases/advanced-management) downloads page to take advantage of the latest features and fixes. ### Compatibility with Tableau content The Content Migration Tool supports migrating workbooks and published data sources saved in the eight most recent versions of Tableau. While you can migrate existing data sources, only data sources that use the connection types in the table below can be changed and modified during migration. For more information, see Data Source Transformations in [Migration Plans: Workbooks](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-gb/cmt-plan_workbooks.htm) and [Migration Plans: Published Data Sources](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-gb/cmt-plan_datasources.htm).

## Post-installation ### Limitations when migrating content Before you start, make sure you understand the limitations when migrating content using the Content Migration Tool. For more information, see [Migration Limitations](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-gb/cmt-migration_limitations.htm). ### Create a migration plan The Content Migration Tool walks you through migrating content across projects on a single site, to a new site on the same Tableau Server instance and to sites that exist on different Tableau Server instances. The plan you create can be saved and used again for future migrations. For more information, see [Migration Plan Overview](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-gb/cmt-depl_plan_overview.htm).
