📝 Documentation 🕐 Less than 5 minutes

AI Description

• Explains automatic migration of keyword-based special field values into separate fields.
• Clarifies that users can deselect conversions to preserve existing library data.

High-Level Assessment

The current approach is appropriate: placing the migration explanation directly after the legacy storage guidance gives readers the necessary context without adding redundant documentation or changing the page structure.
