- Download each template as JSON, zip them and upload the ZIP in the Dropbox Sign migration tool.
- Check recipient roles and merge fields on each imported template.
- Re-create integrations and API keys, then run a test signature.
- Tell recurring signers that the sender address and look will change.
Effort score
| Factor | Score (1 easy, 5 hard) | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Export | 3 / 5 | Based on the export documentation linked above (limits, add-ons, who must enable it). |
| Import | 3 / 5 | Based on the destination vendor's import documentation linked above (first-party tool vs scripting, what is not imported). |
| Permissions | 2 / 5 | Users, roles and groups usually need to be created and mapped by hand before data can land. |
| Integrations | 3 / 5 | Email forwarding, forms, plugins and API keys all have to be re-pointed; default score unless the vendors document a connector. |
| Training | 1 / 5 | Closest to the same workflow; low retraining need. |
Total 12 / 25 → 5–11 days for up to 15 seats (×1.5 for 16–50, ×2 above). This is our judgment from public docs, not a measured project. Rubric.
