   Tip

   The conversion options "From media item to page" and "From page to article" are the default options in a clean XperienCentral environment. Your XperienCentral deployment can contain other content item types to convert to or from. The list is dependent on the custom media item types that have been developed and deployed in your XperienCentral environment. The metadata conversions described below do not vary.
