To migrate or create a new project from your production project in Mixpanel, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a new project: Go to your Organization Settings, click on "Projects", and then click "Create Project". Enter a name for the new project, choose the data residency, and select the timezone. This will be your new project that you'll migrate data to. Managing Projects2. Set up the new project: Configure the new project settings, including inviting users, setting up teams, adding group keys, creating data views, and configuring session settings. Make sure to note the new project token, API secret, and service account credentials. Migrating to Simplified ID Merge3. Export existing data: Use the Raw Export API to export data from your production project. You can export all event data or a subset of events based on your requirements. Project Migration4. Import data into the new project: Use the Import API to import the exported data into your new project. Ensure that the data is compatible with the new project's settings, especially if you're migrating to a Simplified ID Merge system. Migrating to Simplified ID Merge5. Update implementation: Update your tech stack with the new project's token, API secret, and service account credentials to redirect live data to the new project. Migrating to Simplified ID Merge6. Migrate saved entities: Manually recreate or move saved entities such as reports, boards, custom events, custom properties, cohorts, and lexicon metadata to the new project. Project Migration7. Validate and test: Thoroughly test both live and historical data in the new project before fully transitioning.Remember to communicate the migration plan to your team and manage expectations during the transition period.

The SECRET mentioned in Step 5 of the Project Migration Playbook refers to the Project Secret, which is a deprecated authentication method for Mixpanel. Here's what you need to know: 1. The Project Secret is located in the Access Keys section of your project settings.2. However, it's important to note that Project Secret authentication is being deprecated. According to the Project Secret documentation, Mixpanel recommends using Service Accounts instead.3. The documentation states: "This authentication method is in the process of being deprecated. Please use Service Accounts instead. We will continue to support Project Secret authentication for legacy customers indefinitely so you aren't at risk of your existing scripts breaking, but we highly recommend migrating to Service Accounts for any subsequent usage."For new implementations or migrations, it's strongly recommended to use Service Account authentication instead of the Project Secret. You can find more information about Service Accounts in the Mixpanel API Authentication documentation.If you're setting up a new project or migrating data, it's best to use the more secure and recommended Service Account authentication method rather than relying on the deprecated Project Secret.
