= Can I keep my old data? =
You'll need to reconfigure the input method list, migrating configuration file is not supported.

Certain engine does not store the data in fcitx's path, so they can be reused directly, e.g. Mozc, Anthy.

There are certain data can be migrated. fcitx5-migrator in fcitx5-configtool will help you do that. The supported Engine includes Pinyin, Rime, Table, SKK, KKC.
