MigrationThe long-lived object representing one merchant’s move.
StatusWhether a migration is in play: Draft, Active, or Archived.
StageHow far through delivery a migration is: Setup, Test load, Client sign-off, Go live, or Live. Independent of status.
BoardThe migrations view where each stage is a column and each migration is a draggable card.
Source platformThe system the merchant is migrating away from (Magento, Shopify-as-source).
DestinationThe Shopify store the merchant is migrating into.
ResourceA category of data being moved (product, customer, order, …).
RunOne execution of one or more phases.
Run itemThe per-resource record inside a run; carries phase, result, counts, errors.

MatchThe record was pushed and Shopify holds exactly what was prepared for it.
DriftedThe push landed but part of it didn’t survive, so Shopify holds almost — not quite — what was prepared.

Fill rateIn the Data explorer’s field rail, the share of the loaded records where a field has a value.
MappingThe link between a (migration, resource) pair and a specific mapping version.
