## API access

The same markdown files power the in-app onboarding import step:

- List guides: `GET /api/guides/migration`
- Single guide: `GET /api/guides/migration/{slug}`

Example: `GET /api/guides/migration/1password` returns the 1Password guide for inline display in the dashboard.

## Before you begin

Read the [Migration Overview](overview.md) checklist — disable auto-fill in your old manager, export while the vault is current, and plan to **delete plaintext export files** immediately after a successful import.
