I've read the guidance on why and when I should migrate a question. It's pretty obvious when, and certainly when not to (if there's any doubt). But the guide doesn't tell me how I should do to migrate questions.

The guide: Closing/Migrating question instructions/guidance

The guide I need is a step-by-step action list which I haven't found yet, such as:

  1. On the question, select the mod link
  2. In the options given, select migrate to option
  3. Select the site to migrate to in the editable drop down control
  4. When you select OK the receiving site need to accept your migration suggestion before it's performed.

Or something like that. Is this guide available?

Edit

Following the guide by random♦ I see no option to select any other site, nor to search for a site.

  • Thanks! But where I mod (SharePoint.SE) this option isn't available AFAIK. See my updated question with the screenshot.

    @Benny Then the question might not be eligible for migration. You can (even as a mod) only migrate a question that is less than 60 days old.

  • If the question has been already closed by the community, should I reopen it first? Is there a way to avoid this?
