+> [!WARNING]
+> Branch protection migration is partially supported. {% data variables.product.prodname_elm_short %} preserves whether actor restrictions are enabled for dismissing pull request reviews and pushing to protected branches, but it does not preserve the permitted users, teams, or apps. A push restriction can therefore be recreated on the destination with an empty allowlist. It also does not migrate pull request bypass actors, force-push actors, status check app bindings, matching-branch creation restrictions, merge queue settings, deployment requirements, or branch locking. Review and update migrated branch protection rules before allowing users to work in the destination repository.

 > [!NOTE]
 > When a pull request review is submitted, {% data variables.product.prodname_elm_short %} imports the full review including all inline comments together. Inline comments that are part of an initial review submission are migrated correctly. However, **replies added to a review thread after the review has been submitted** are not captured as live updates and will not appear in the migrated repository.
