Hi, @mysar
Steps to change the data area.
You will get a respond from the service dep. with a clearly document how to procede. You make a request with 3 options of downtime (during 6 hours) at least 8 days later than you plan send in the form. Let it sign by your azure tennant administrator (on paper nothing more fancy) scan it an mail it back. After a few days a confirm of stating one of the 3 options as chosen option is given. I did request some response.
They do request to make a copy of your work on the tennant. But I did not lose anything. Even datarefreshes using credentials are still working.
There is some impact stating in the migration document.
Impact to customer is as follows:
The day after your migration you are again informed that the migration is succesful and they ask you to confirm if all is OK.
