Legacy slices in Prismic

[Fares]

Hi @baileymckay, welcome to the Prismic community.

I will try to answer your inquires in order:

@baileymckay

We have a bunch of old-format slices (and shared slices) in our repo. Is there an easy way to port these over to become Slice Machine 'Shared Slices'?

• Currently, there is no official migration tool to migrate none Slice Machine slices, you can follow this thread for future updates.

@baileymckay

Can we disable the 'From Slice Machine' tab when adding slices? We have removed the essential-slices NPM package from our new repo because we don't want to use them. While they're not appearing in Slice Machine / Prismic Builder (what is this actually called?) locally, they're still appearing in Prismic's web UI.

• I'm checking with my team and get back to you.

@baileymckay

Is it actually safe to enable Slice Machine on an existing repo with a lot of content, custom types, and slices?

• Yes sure it is safe, and in fact, the Slice Machine is now activated for all repositories.
