Is there a way to Skip "Step 3: Cut over to the new servers" while migrating servers using SMS ?

Hi,
Based on my understanding, if you don’t cut over to the new servers, the files you transferred would not be available. Thus, we don’t suggest that you skip step 3.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Danny

Hey Dan, from where did you get that screenshot?
it says that I have three options, and considering the migration complete without taking over the identity of the server is an option out there. I would like to learn more about it.
