The Content Migration screen allows you to move only that the data which applies to what you want to test. For example, if you were changing from an Easter to a Christmas theme, the chances are pretty good that you won't need to move products, categories, and other store settings.
It is important crucial that you be aware that the content migration screen will only move data that does not already exist in the destination. For example, if you attempt to move ten brands from source to destination, but one brand already exists, nine new brands will be created in the destination store, but the one existing record that already exists will fail.
In order to overwrite data, you can use the Understanding the Product Catalogue screen, which deletes and recreates data.
When performing partial migrations, it is important to know that some data depend on others. For example, while it is possible to migrate a Product, this data will not be complete unless the brands, categories, variations, etc have been migrated. Therefore, StagingPro migrates associated with other data elements EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT SELECTED INDIVIDUALLY by you. Below is a list of data fields that get migrated automatically.

5) Product Data Migration is a bit more involved than other migration options and may take a while to process, depending on the number of products in your catalogue. Many different options, such as brands, categories, variants, etc all need to be considered when moving products. For a detailed explanation of the process, you can click here.
6) As you would expect, Order Data Migration is purely data associated with orders; however, due to PII (Personally Identifiable Information), it is not normally wise to use this data as is. For this reason, StagingPro gives allows you the option to anonymise anonymize both order and customer information. “Fake” names and addresses will be inserted instead of the actual values meaning that a true environment can still be maintained without the risk.
7) Finally is , the store settings. If you have been testing different scenarios with how your store displays, sends out notifications, or even how your regional settings may affect your store, you can use this option just to just migrate those particular elements.
