So I updated a very old site from 5.6 to latest using the migration tool and a new build. A load of pages were news/jobs-type pages which previously had (manually added) advanced View permissions set (so the pages were only visible for a set time). Is the migration tool able to export these permissions? I couldn’t see anything obvious in the list of Items.

Also, perhaps advanced permissions is now not the best way to do this hiding (or deleting)? Any other methods? Thanks

I tried again and it seems no in this case, but not an issue
