Introduction

Many teams have built extensive training and support libraries in Microsoft Dynamics Guides. Until now, moving that content into frontline.io required rebuilding guides, animations, or interactions that were previously unable to be preserved. This update to our migration feature now allows a direct import and conversion process, enabling organizations to protect their previous investment while taking advantage of our platform’s growing feature set.

This feature is not enabled by default, but can be enabled within workspaces upon request.

Key Features

Import Guides Seamlessly

Users can upload their existing Guides files, which are automatically converted into frontline.io’s format. The process requires no manual intervention, ensuring a smooth handover of content from one platform to the other.

Retain Original Settings

All animations and interactions are carried over exactly as they were in Guides. This ensures that imported content behaves as expected, avoiding the need to reconfigure timing, placement, or interactivity.

Play Animations in the Builder

Animations can be opened directly in frontline.io’s animation builder, where users can preview playback, inspect tool positions, and confirm that the migrated content matches the original.

Organize Migrated Tools

Tools created as part of the migration process are automatically sorted into a dedicated Migrated Tools category. This makes it simple to locate, review, and integrate imported assets without disrupting existing projects.

Enhance AR Workflows

Migrated content is optimized for AR use:

• Temporary default objects appear during initial setup in AR manual placement mode, ensuring workflows remain smooth even if no mesh is available.

• Additional guidance is provided for AR-only procedures, flagging to the user when imported guides are not suitable for non AR environments.

Conclusion

This release is designed to help teams reduce their workload by creating a frictionless transition to frontline.io. By helping to avoid the process of starting over, we’re making it simpler for teams to bring their existing libraries into frontline.io and immediately benefit from our platform’s tools for training, guidance, and AR support.

If you have been working with Microsoft Dynamics Guides and are considering expanding your use cases with frontline.io, this migration feature offers the fastest path forward.
