Safeguard member data in community cutover
Community continuity becomes fragile when history, identity, and consent must move at the same time.
A timely transition can conflict with the level of verification required to keep members’ trust intact.
“Those old threads are where I learned half my practice—if they disappear or get disconnected, that’s not a small loss.”

What pulls against what
- fixed cutover date vs. verified member records
- automation speed vs. human confirmation
- privacy integrity vs. historical continuity
- executive urgency vs. member trust
What is at stake
The cutover has a fixed endpoint and every unverified record can affect a real member. Success preserves access, context, and consent without treating automated matches as proof
Why Figma
At Figma, durable collaboration often depends on members being able to trust both the continuity and stewardship of shared spaces.
