Migration outline
Validate first. Switch delivery last.
- 1
Export the current published resources by locale and namespace.
- 2
Create matching Keyglot namespaces and preview each resource import.
- 3
Link the workspace without changing production delivery, then compare development output.
- 4
Switch the application only after the Keyglot publication matches the current resources.
