  When a main project is migrated, all the projects which depend on the main project (such as auxiliary and back translation projects) will also be migrated.

* Register existing projects in Paratext 8.
Most existing projects will be pre-registered by the translation organization before the user tries to use Paratext 8. For any existing projects that are not pre-registered, see:
