Use [Import/Export] to migrate your data (content data records) in the following situations:
- When you want to migrate your data to ScanSnap Home installed on another computer.
- When you want to migrate your data to another drive on the same computer.
Example: Migrating your data from the C: drive to the D: drive
[IMPORTANT]
- If you migrate your data using functions other than [Import/Export], meta information (e.g. basic information on the document and business card information) may be lost.
- Content data records are not compatible between Windows and macOS, so content data records exported in one operating system cannot be imported into the other.
