Hey, Prismic team! I'm trying to replace one of our worst legacy slices (used in ≈200 documents) with one of our newer slices, built using Slice Machine. The legacy slice is used to present the exact same content to ≈200 pages, but the content is managed individually on each page—meaning that if so…

Hey @dan.duett - I've had this issue in the past several times and the fastest/safest option is to do it manually by either asking the intern in the marketing team or outsourcing.

Thanks, @kris ! I was really hoping that we could avoid manual "intern" work for this.

The import-export tool was designed to work with the Legacy Builder. We haven't documented how it would work for this use case, so the best option is still to migrate manually, as @kris mentioned.

Understood, Pau! Thanks for confirming. It looks like your reply might've gotten clipped at the end but it's hard to be certain. At any rate, we'll move forward assuming that replacing legacy slices with Slice Machine slices will be a manual workflow, done one document at a time.

Thanks for pointing that out, Dan!
