 Upgrading from CouchDB 1.x
 ==========================
 
-CouchDB 2.x fully supports upgrading from CouchDB 1.x. A data migration
-process is required to use CouchDB 1.x databases in CouchDB 2.x. CouchDB
-2.1 supplies a utility, ``couchup``, to simplify the migration process.
-
-``couchup`` utility
--------------------
-
-The ``couchup`` utility is a Python script that supports listing CouchDB
-1.x databases on a CouchDB 2.x installation, migrating them for use with
-CouchDB 2.x, rebuilding any database views after migration, and deleting
-the 1.x databases once migration is complete.
-
-``couchup`` runs under Python 2.7 or 3.x, and requires the Python
-`requests library <http://python-requests.org/>`_, and can optionally
-make use of the Python `progressbar library
-<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar>`_.
-
-Overview
-^^^^^^^^
-
-couchup makes it easy to migrate your CouchDB 1.x databases to CouchDB
-2.x by providing 4 useful sub-commands:
-
-* ``list`` - lists all CouchDB 1.x databases
-* ``replicate`` - replicates one or more 1.x databases to CouchDB 2.x
-* ``rebuild`` - rebuilds one or more CouchDB 2.x views
-* ``delete`` - deletes one or more CouchDB 1.x databases
-
-Once you have installed CouchDB 2.x, copy the .couch files from
-your 1.x installation (or, if you've upgraded in-place, do nothing),
-ensure the permissions on the files are set so the ``couchdb`` user has
-proper read/write access, then use commands similar to the following:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ couchup list           # Shows your unmigrated 1.x databases
-    $ couchup replicate -a   # Replicates your 1.x DBs to 2.x
-    $ couchup rebuild -a     # Optional; starts rebuilding your views
-    $ couchup delete -a      # Deletes your 1.x DBs (careful!)
-    $ couchup list           # Should show no remaining databases!
-
-The same process works for moving from a single 1.x node to a cluster of
-2.x nodes; the only difference is that you must :ref:`complete cluster setup <setup>`
-prior to running the couchup commands.
-
-Special Features
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-* Lots of extra help is available via:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ couchup -h
-    $ couchup <sub-command> -h
-
-* Various optional arguments provide for admin login/password,
-  overriding ports, quiet mode and so on.
-
-* ``couchup delete`` will NOT delete your 1.x DBs unless the contents are
-  identical to the replicated 2.x DBs, or you override with the
-  ``-f/--force`` command (be VERY careful with this!!)
-
-* ``couchup replicate`` supports an optional flag, ``-f/--filter-deleted``, to
-  filter delete documents during the replication process. This can
-  improve the performance and disk-size of your database if it has a lot
-  of deleted documents.
-
-  It is IMPORTANT that no documents be deleted
-  from the 1.x database during this process, or those deletions may not
-  successfully replicate to the 2.x database. (It's recommended that
-  you not access or modify the 1.x database at all during the whole
-  ``couchup`` process.)
-
-Manual CouchDB 1.x migration
-----------------------------
-
-If you cannot use the ``couchup`` utility, or prefer to migrate
-yourself, a manual migration is also possible. In this process, a
-full-featured HTTP client such as ``curl`` is required.
-
-The process is similar to the automated approach:
-
-1. Copy all of your 1.x .couch files to the CouchDB 2.x ``data/``
-   directory and start CouchDB (2.x).
-2. Set up replication for each database from the node-local port
-   (default: 5986) to the clustered port (default: 5984). This can be
-   done via the :ref:`/_replicate <api/server/replicate>` endpoint or
-   the :ref:`replicator database <replicator>`.
-3. Rebuild each view by accessing it through the clustered port.
-4. Confirm that all databases and views can be accessed as desired.
-5. Remove the 1.x databases via a ``DELETE`` request on the
-   **node-local** port (default: 5986).
+To upgrade from CouchDB 1.x, first upgrade to a version of CouchDB 2.x.
 
 Review comment:
   "first upgrade to a version of CouchDB 2.x, and convert all your databases to CouchDB 2.x format. Then, upgrade to CouchDB 3.x."
