Understand the new data migration service reports

The new data migration service is currently in public beta and is subject to the "Pre-general availability offerings terms" section of the Google Workspace Service-Specific Terms.

When migrating data with the new data migration service, you can access reports to get detail on migrated items. The 2 types of reports are a migration report and a user report.
