# Batch conversion

QV2QS converts an entire folder of QlikView documents in a single batch run. QV2QS discovers all matching QVW and PRJ pairs recursively, converts each project independently, and produces per-project and aggregate reports.

Warning note

Copy all source QVW and QVF files to a local working folder before running a batch conversion. Do not scan production directories, QlikView Server document folders, or shared network drives.
