The FileMaker Data Migration Tool (DMT) migrates data from one FileMaker file to another, preserving data while applying structural changes from an updated clone.
How to use this skill
- Read
references/data-migration-tool.md (relative to this skill's directory) to find the relevant page URL(s) for the user's question.

WebFetch from the URL(s) listed there.

Note on multi-page answers
Pre-migration steps are split across two pages: fetch both before-you-begin.md (prerequisites: accounts, encryption, extended privileges) and migrate-data.md (procedure: creating the clone, closing the source file, running the tool) for complete coverage of setup questions.
