> ℹ️ Starting from **Velocity Charts Data Center version 7.1.0**, app data can be migrated from DC to Cloud [automatically](https://brokenbuild.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VEL/pages/4859691009) using the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA). This allows you to transfer your existing chart configurations to Cloud as part of the standard Jira migration flow.

You can use the chart settings export/import feature to transfer your saved gadgets one by one.

1. Open the chart you want to migrate and click **Export > Chart settings**.
