@ConnorLand - I think this is one for you once it is no longer in draft? |
Hello @MarkvanMents 👋, yes we will first do an internal review with the team and after that I'll lift draft and mark it ready for review. |

| ### Handling Conversion Limitations | ||
|
|
||
| Some widgets may not be in a convertible state due to specific configurations or properties. In such cases, Studio Pro will attempt to convert as many widgets as possible and will inform you about how many widgets could not be converted automatically. You can then choose to convert the remaining widgets manually by finding them through the error pane. |

Mert, as discussed earlier let's be more specific here. By "manually" we should highlight that the user should try again a single conversion by right-clicking on a single widget and then there will be a pop-up dialog with more details about why the conversion didn't proceed during the batch conversion. Feel free to formulate it differently, but here an idea:
This manual conversion means using the context menu conversion option on each individual widget. This will bring up a dialog providing you with the specific reasons why that particular widget could not be converted automatically during the batch process.

The screenshot you shared is already an outdated version and not the final one. I tried to to make a new one, but I cannot manage to get the resolution of the image you shared, so I let you take a new one.

| To start the batch conversion process you can either: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Right-click on an incompatible widget in Studio Pro and select **Convert all to [target widget]** |

We use both incompatible and unsupported widgets, not sure if we should align the terms or maybe is fine?
This PR adds a new docs page to serve as a guideline for the new batch conversion feature.
This is supposed to be released with 11.4.
