Views Migration Module
The Views Migration module simplifies the process of migrating views from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10. It offers both a user-friendly interface and command-line tools via Drush to facilitate seamless view import. While it supports database-stored views, manually created ones with the Features module require extra steps. The module also ensures compatibility with popular plugins like Views Slideshow and Better Exposed Filters, providing rollback options and handling all necessary dependencies during migration.

Project Overview

- But it does not have an automated migration path to migrate data from Drupal 7 to 10.
