+Migrate wallabag
+================
+
+From wallabag 1.x
+-----------------
+
+If you were using wallabag v1.x, you need to export your data before migrating to wallabag v2.x, because the application and its database changed a lot. In your old wallabag installation, you can export your data, which can be done on the Config page of your old wallabag installation.

+
+.. note::
+    If you have multiple accounts on the same instance of wallabag, each user must export from v1 and import into v2 its data.
+
+.. note::
+    If you encounter issues during the export or the import, don't hesitate to `ask for support <https://www.wallabag.org/pages/support.html>`__.
+
+When you have retrieved the json file containing your entries, you can install wallabag v2 if needed by following `the standard procedure <http://doc.wallabag.org/en/v2/user/installation.html>`__.
+
+After creating an user account on your new wallabag v2 instance, you must head over to the `Import` section and select `Import from wallabag v1`. Select your json file and upload it.

+From wallabag 2.x
