Migration from PT7x to PT8 post PT7 server shut down

Question

Hi,
I have a project that was submitted to DBL several years ago under PT7.5. I now want to migrate that project to PT8 but encountered the error,
“The Paratext 7 copy of XXXXXX has some changes that have not been saved to project history. You need to do a final receive for this project in Paratext 7 before doing the migration.”
Of course a send receive to the Paratext 7 server now yields no result.

Question: How can I migrate the project? All I really need is for the current DBL version of the project to be in Paratext 8.

Answer 1

Using Project > Mark Point in Project History should also work to make that message go away.

Answer 2

Have you tried doing a ” final" send/recv to a USB drive in PT7. I’m guessing that might satisfy the requirement and allow you to migrate it.

Answer 3

Marking the point in project history did the trick - thanks
