Please note that the success of any data migration depends primarily on the quality of the data set provided to us. Before attempting to migrate your information into Clio, you should ensure that your data is consistently formatted, well organized, sufficiently backed up, and stored securely. If you are not certain, it is recommended that you consult with your Clio representative before proceeding.

Migration Recommendation
When exporting the following Excel files, they will all export with the same name because they are all coming from the Activities section. As a best practice and to ensure a quick migration, we strongly encourage renaming the exported Excel file to what it contains. For example, once you export Tasks, you can rename the exported Excel file as "Tasks".
