We have used uSync Migrations to migrate a site from Grid to Block Grid. It works great but it doesn't do anything with Embed, Form or Macro. It creates them as blocks and sets a property which is a label. Which is understandable. But we still need to work out what we are going to do with them. What have you done with your macros, forms and embeds when migrating from Grid to Block Grid?

I'm not super familiar with either of those three, but doesn't embed and forms have corresponding property editors?
Macros might be worth converting to something else. Especially since they won't be supported in future versions of umbraco (can't remember from which version).

There is a form picker, and embed could easily just be a text string, i suppose we could just create a simple doc type per macro and use them as blocks. We will need to work out what to do about the macros in the rich text, Maybe over time the user can split the rich text into 2 and swap the macros out for the block ones and continue the rich text block afterwards.

Sounds like a plan 👍

The site I'm currently migrating has a block like this. Should do the trick for embed.

I've never really been a fan of macros in the RTE. Trying to replace them over time sounds like a good idea.
