Skool to GoHighLevel Migration Guide

If you are moving from Skool and tools like ClickUp into a unified system, this step-by-step guide will show you how to migrate your communities, members, and courses into GoHighLevel while keeping everything organized and accessible.

This how-to tutorial is based on the official Skool to GoHighLevel migration process and is designed so you can follow each step in order without technical confusion.

Before You Start: GoHighLevel Access & Prerequisites

Before beginning the Skool to GoHighLevel migration, confirm you have:

• Administrator access to your existing Skool community or communities.
• Administrator or sub-account access in GoHighLevel for the workspace where you will host your new communities.
• Any branding assets you want to reuse, such as logos, banner images, and color codes.

It is also wise to plan how many Skool communities you want to recreate inside GoHighLevel so you can mirror the structure cleanly.

Step 1: Create a New Community in GoHighLevel

Your first major step is to create a new community space in GoHighLevel that will replace your Skool group.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

2. Go to the section where communities or memberships are managed.

3. Create a new community to match your Skool group. Use a similar name so you can easily recognize it during migration.

4. Upload your logo, banner image, and other branding assets to keep the look and feel consistent.

Once the base community is created in GoHighLevel, you will be ready to recreate channels, categories, and course content.

Step 2: Rebuild Skool Community Structure in GoHighLevel

Skool organizes discussion and learning through structured sections. In GoHighLevel, you will create the equivalent areas so your members can transition smoothly.

Recreate Community Spaces in GoHighLevel

Review the structure of your Skool community and note:

• Main community or group name.
• Categories, channels, or spaces used for different topics.
• Any special sections for announcements, wins, support, or resources.

Then, in GoHighLevel:

1. Create channels or topics that match your Skool layout as closely as possible.

2. Set clear names and short descriptions for each new area.

3. Configure visibility or access rules if some areas are meant for specific levels or programs.

Set Roles and Permissions in GoHighLevel

In Skool you may have admins, moderators, and members. Mirror that hierarchy inside GoHighLevel:

• Create admin or moderator roles if available.
• Define what each role can post, edit, or manage.
• Confirm that your team has the correct permissions before inviting members.

Having permissions properly configured early in GoHighLevel prevents confusion when your members arrive.

Step 3: Rebuild Courses and Lessons in GoHighLevel

One of the most important migration tasks is copying your Skool courses and lesson content into GoHighLevel so members maintain uninterrupted learning access.

Map Skool Courses to GoHighLevel

Start by auditing your current Skool courses:

• List all courses and modules.
• Note the order of lessons within each module.
• Identify attached files, videos, and links for each lesson.

Next, in GoHighLevel:

1. Create a new course for each Skool course you want to migrate.

2. Organize modules or sections to match your Skool structure.

3. Copy lesson titles over in the same order as they appear in Skool.

Copy Lesson Content into GoHighLevel

For every lesson inside your Skool courses:

1. Open the lesson in Skool and copy the text content.

2. Paste the text into a new lesson in the corresponding GoHighLevel course.

3. Re-embed or link your videos (such as YouTube, Vimeo, or hosted files) into the GoHighLevel lesson editor.

4. Upload any downloadable files (PDFs, worksheets, slides) and attach them inside the GoHighLevel lesson.

Repeat this process for each course until your full curriculum is built out inside GoHighLevel.

Step 4: Export Members from Skool

To bring your existing members into GoHighLevel, you will export a member list from Skool and prepare it for import.

1. In Skool, navigate to your community or group settings.

2. Locate the members area or member management section.

3. Use the export option to download a CSV or similar file with member data.

4. Open the exported file and review the fields, including names, email addresses, and any tags or notes.

This exported member list will be the basis for your GoHighLevel import and helps ensure you do not lose anyone during the transition.

Step 5: Import Members into GoHighLevel

With your Skool member CSV ready, you can now import those people into your new community inside GoHighLevel.

Prepare the File for GoHighLevel Import

Before uploading the file:

• Ensure each member has a valid email address.
• Clean up duplicate entries if any exist.
• Confirm column headers so that you can map them correctly during import.

Upload Members to GoHighLevel

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account and open the correct sub-account or workspace.

2. Navigate to the contacts or members import section.

3. Upload your Skool CSV file.

4. Map the columns from your file (such as name and email) to the matching fields in GoHighLevel.

5. Complete the import process and wait for the system to finish processing the data.

After the import is complete, your former Skool members should appear as contacts or members inside GoHighLevel.

Step 6: Assign Members to GoHighLevel Communities and Courses

Now that your members exist inside the system, you must grant them access to the correct community and course content in GoHighLevel.

1. Open the community or membership area in GoHighLevel where you want members to participate.

2. Assign imported contacts to the community, either in bulk or by group.

3. For each course you recreated, enroll the appropriate members or define rules for automatic access based on tags or products.

4. If necessary, set start dates or drip settings to control how quickly lessons become available.

At this stage, your migrated members should be able to log in and view your community discussions and courses inside GoHighLevel.

Step 7: Test the New GoHighLevel Setup

Before fully announcing the switch from Skool, verify the new setup in GoHighLevel by walking through it like a member.

• Create or use a test member account.
• Log in and check that the community layout is visible and usable.
• Open courses and confirm that every lesson, video, and download works.
• Verify that notifications and emails are triggered correctly, if configured.

If you find issues, make adjustments in GoHighLevel and retest until the experience feels smooth.

Step 8: Announce the Migration to Your Members

Once you are satisfied with the new environment, communicate the change clearly to your community so they can move from Skool to GoHighLevel without friction.

1. Post an announcement in your Skool group explaining that you are migrating to GoHighLevel.

2. Provide a direct login link or instructions for accessing the new community.

3. List key benefits of the new space, such as consolidated content, improved navigation, or better support.

4. Set a date when you will stop updating Skool and focus exclusively on GoHighLevel.

You may also want to pin the announcement in Skool and send email reminders to maximize adoption.
