# 2023-2024 Conversion FAQ

##### Every program will have its data backed up and converted to the 2024 format.

---

##### *When will the conversion happen?*

In mid-January, a button will appear on the home page allowing you to convert your 2023 work to the new format. Late January, all accounts will be converted.

---

##### *How long does conversion take?*

Each program will take approximately 15 minutes. If many programs request conversion at the same time, it could be overnight.

<p class="callout info">During conversion, no one from the staff will be able to log in to the web or mobile app.</p>

<p class="callout danger">*Once you have converted, everyone must use the new mobile app UA 2024.*</p>

##### *What will happen with my [Tags](https://docs.universityathlete.com/books/online-usage/page/introduction-to-tags "Introduction to Tags")?*

Tags don't go away. All your current tags (Heart, Diamond, Club, Spade, Star) will be converted to the new [*Primary*](https://docs.universityathlete.com/books/online-usage/page/introduction-to-tags "Introduction to Tags") tag format. *Primary* tags are larger and don't show their label in most places. You may change your *Primary* tag icons and labels if you like. You can also add one more *Primary* tag since the limit is 6. *Primary* tags can be reordered.

<p class="callout warning">If you use *Tags* in Front Rush, ACS, or Jump Forward, you should check with them before changing or adding another *Primary* tag since they may not convert correctly.</p>

---

##### *What will happen with my Categories?*

Categories will be converted to [*Secondary*](https://docs.universityathlete.com/books/online-usage/page/creating-editing-deleting-tags "Creating, Editing, Deleting Tags") tags. They will contain the same label and color. You can optionally add icons to each *Secondary* tag and a task to be assigned when a Secondary tag is used. For Tier 1 and Tier 2, there is no limit to the number of *Secondary* tags you may have. *Secondary* tags can be reordered.

---

##### *What will happen with my Groups?*

Group will be converted to [*Summary*](https://docs.universityathlete.com/books/online-usage/page/summary "Summary"). *Summary* is longer and can contain a sentence or two describing the athlete. It can also contain special characters like before.

<p class="callout info">There is only one Summary per athlete. Editing will change it for all staff.</p>

---

##### *What will happen with my [Notes](https://docs.universityathlete.com/books/online-usage/page/notes "Notes")?*

Notes from 2023 and earlier will not change.

---

##### *What will happen with our staff [profiles](https://docs.universityathlete.com/books/online-usage/page/managing-staff-profiles "Managing Staff Profiles")?*

##### Every staff member will need to have their profile updated. Initials in a custom colored circle will be used instead of "C1, C2" ... etc.
