Running Discovery

What Is Discovery?

Discovery scans your source platform to provide a complete picture of what needs to be migrated. It identifies users, data volumes, shared resources, and potential compatibility issues.

Creating a Scan

1. Go to Discovery → New Scan
2. Select your source platform connection
3. Choose which services to scan:
   • Users and mailboxes
   • Email
   • Files and drives
   • Calendar
   • Contacts
   • Groups
   • Shared mailboxes
   • Shared calendars
   • Shared drives
4. Click Start Scan

Scanning typically takes 2-10 minutes depending on organization size.
