@Penelope - We did not migrate the badges from the old platform, due to restrictions. We do have an article about the trust levels and badges on the new platform here.

Hello Iām Gabe Cruz - I just replied to another member that had the same question. Here is the link to my reply that has detailed instructions: My top 4 tips to get started in our new community - #89 by thebigdatajedi
Hi @chris, just saw your reply as it went to spam in my Outlook inbox. Itās a shame that GDG profile migration isnāt possible. Just wanted to add that Iām interested because my GDG profile is tied with my work email, and Iād prefer my GDG profile be tied to my own email, especially if Iām to change workplaces throughout my career. Maybe a solution could tie the GDG profile to both a personal and work email ā not immediately obvious to me which approach Iād prefer. Anyway, appreciate your input and consideration!
