Help-center import that preserves structure and flags fixes
Make the knowledge-base move feel safe by preserving the old structure on import and pointing out what still needs cleanup.
Why this can grow a startup
Support leaders do not only fear data loss. They fear waking up to a broken help center with no map of what changed. A migration surface that keeps the existing article structure and marks review debt removes a lot of that anxiety. It also helps the buyer imagine publishing faster, because the move becomes a guided edit pass rather than a rebuild from zero.
Company example
Intercom says teams can migrate Zendesk help content in one click by entering the Help Center URL, and that the importer keeps the organizational structure while flagging content that needs review and advice on how to fix it.

When to use it
Use this when SEO, Support, Website is relevant to migration, knowledge base, crawlability and you can run a bounded test with a medium budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
