Top WordPress Multisite Migration Resources

WordPress Multisite projects often don't start from scratch. You might have existing websites and data that need to be "poured" into your new Multisite network. In other cases, you might need to "rip out" one or more sub-sites from the large Multisite and run them as independent instances. Or maybe you need to learn how to manage the mapping of sub-sites within the network to sub-domains or sub-directories. 

Below we collected our top resources on managing WordPress Multisite migrations (full and partial) and mapping sub-sites to their respective domains.
