# Source migration
Migration is the process of moving manga/anime between sources without losing progress. This is most often used when a source is no longer accessible or another source is more up-to-date.
Always make sure to have a backup in case anything unexpected occurs.
Downloaded chapter(s)/episode(s) do not transfer with migrations.
Migrations with downloaded chapter(s)/episode(s) may leave the download behind. You will need to remove these manually with a file manager.
