Separate ownership from portability
A right in content does not necessarily mean a product offers a complete export of every discussion, permission and relationship. Ask the provider what the actual export or assisted migration includes, in which format and under what conditions. Keep unsupported capabilities marked unknown. Do not describe a downloaded member list as a complete community backup.
Define a minimum viable continuation
Identify the resources and contact routes necessary for the next activity if the main platform becomes unavailable. Keep this proportionate and authorised; do not create an uncontrolled copy of all member data. Establish who can make an exit decision and which contractual or payment obligations need separate review.
Record what cannot be reversed
An exit can affect links, subscriptions, app access and member-created content. Ask how those relationships would be handled rather than assuming they migrate together. A later platform may not reproduce the same permissions or event structure. The plan should make such losses visible before urgency encourages a destructive shortcut.
A fictional exit rehearsal
A society requests the documented export scope and discovers that one essential resource needs a separate permitted retrieval method. It assigns an owner to resolve that gap and keeps the next event’s practical route current. It does not claim to have tested a full disaster recovery. The result is a more honest statement of what can continue and what still depends on the provider.
Before you close this task
Keep the provider’s actual answer and its observation date with the plan. If an export has never been performed, label the capability as documented or quoted rather than tested. A permitted small rehearsal may later improve the evidence, but it should not be confused with a completed transfer of all live community relationships.
Where the safety evidence stops
This guide draws on Mighty Networks migration FAQ, Mighty terms of use, Mighty privacy policy. Merchant-controlled records describe the provider’s own capabilities, terms or standards; they do not independently validate those claims. These records do not establish independent confirmation of the product claims.
Verify any current price, plan limit, label direction, compatibility rule, or commercial term that would materially change the decision. The dated source ledger shows the underlying records so this conclusion can be checked and updated.
