# Project Discovery Scan

To run a scan, create a new Movebot project, connect your platforms, and follow the wizard. Once done, select **Save and Exit.**

You will find yourself at your migration project dashboard. Click on **Run Discovery Scan.**

You will be asked whether you wish to run a scan over the entire source platform or a specific location. We recommend scanning the *entire source* for cloud platforms and selecting the *specific drive* you wish to scan if you're working with on-prem servers.

Finally, you can click **Launch Scan** to kick off your pre-migration scan. &#x20;
