How do I migrate my company's existing SOPs from Scribe to another documentation tool?

Migrate from Scribe by exporting each guide as a PDF or copying the content to your new platform. Most Scribe guides can be recreated faster than migrated — re-record the workflow in your new tool in 5 minutes per guide instead of reformatting exported content. For critical SOPs, export from Scribe and import to Notion or Confluence. For routine guides, just re-record.

What are the migration options?

Method	Time per Guide	Quality	Best For
Re-record with new tool	5 minutes	High — fresh screenshots, updated UI	Most guides
Export PDF from Scribe	2 minutes + reformatting	Medium — static, no editing	Archival or compliance records
Copy-paste content	10-15 minutes	Low — formatting breaks, images may not transfer	Quick migration of text-heavy guides
Screenshot the Scribe guide	5 minutes	Low — image of a document, not editable	Temporary backup

What is the recommended migration plan?

1. Inventory your Scribe guides — List all guides, note which are actively used vs archived
2. Prioritize by usage — Migrate the top 20 most-used guides first
3. Re-record with Glyde — 5 minutes per guide, captures the current UI with contextual descriptions that are higher quality than Scribe's generic captions
4. Export to your wiki — Notion or Confluence
5. Update links — Replace old Scribe links in Slack, email templates, and onboarding docs
6. Archive Scribe — Keep the Scribe account active for 30 days to catch any missed links

How long does migration take?

Guide Count	Re-Record Approach	Copy-Paste Approach
10 guides	1 hour	2-3 hours
25 guides	2-3 hours	5-8 hours
50 guides	4-5 hours	12-15 hours
100 guides	8-10 hours (spread over a week)	25+ hours

Re-recording is almost always faster than migrating content, and produces better results because the screenshots are current.
