This conversion tool is used to apply all the other tools against selected pages, in a single process. The operations referenced here are performed on the content in the repository, this tool does not modify any code.
There is an implicit expectation that a new Editable Template has been created to support the content updated by these conversions. Policies are created in the user specified Configuration location for use on associated templates. There is an implicit expectation that new components have been created to support the content updated by these conversions. See the Plan & Operate section for more information.

Conversions
Structure Conversions
This tool performs the same conversions described on the Structure Conversion Tool page.
Policy Imports
This tool performs the same processes described on the Policy Import Tool page.
Component Conversion
This tool performs the same conversions described on the Component Conversion Tool page.
Policy Mapping
During the conversion of a page’s template reference, if there exists a policy that is imported that has not been applied on the associated Editable Template, this tool will apply that policy. Thus, a component in a container should maintain a reference to the design properties on the updated Editable Template. This only holds true if the component does not already have a policy mapping.
