Hi,

EPiServer 5.2+ has a feature for Converting Page Types:

http://world.episerver.com/Documentation/Items/Tech-Notes/EPiServer-CMS-5/EPiServer-CMS-5-R2-CTP/Convert-page-type-for-pages/

This will keep the same page ID after conversion.

Thanks for your answers...

@Bevan - My problem is that I can migrate to 5.2 version. Is it possible to keep the Page Id same in new page?

@Erik - I cannot see this option Convert Pages. I am using 5.0 version.
