Legacy content migrations fail when teams treat each page as a one-off fix. Older sites usually contain mixed heading formats, inconsistent metadata, and obsolete boilerplate across hundreds of pages.

Batch text transformations make migration manageable. Standardize heading case, clean whitespace, and remove duplicated legal fragments before importing into the new CMS. This cuts manual correction time after launch.

Track transformation rules in a migration log so changes remain auditable. If stakeholders ask why a phrase changed, your team can trace the exact rule that produced the result.

Structured migration workflows protect quality and reduce post-launch cleanup debt.
