Where are my notes from Classic? Why can't I use them in CC?

I had done a lot of research and poured them into the Character Bios as well as other documents within Story Classic. Recently logged in again because Classic is being discontinued and I want to see if CC is worth the money, but most importantly I want to be able to work on my project again.

1. Why has only my script been transferred to CC? What happened to the rest of my notes?

2. Will there be no feature whatsoever for research and planning? Even under the Character Lists, there is no place to input a bio, only basic information.

3. There is no feature to export an entire project, so I had to Save to disk every single documents one by one (and for safety, I also exported each document as TXT). When you Save to disk, the document saves as .stdoc. Why can't I import a single .stdoc into Story CC?

If none of these concerns are adequately addressed, I sincerely hope Adobe maintains Classic, because it has far more and superior features compared to CC.

Finally got a response from Adobe Care on Twitter:

currently there is no plan to support treatments, synopsis, loglines in the new version of Story. Thanks ^RK

I asked them on Twitter and 4 days later, have yet to get any type of response. It's frustrating. About half of my content doesn't get transferred over to the new version. Really leaning towards cancelling my subscription.

    Well that completely negates any value add Adobe Story offers. There's plenty of other screenwriting software with document management out there, for a one time payment. Granted, the scheduling feature would have been useful, but to me it's not worth it without the features they are discontinuing support for. Classic is honestly the superior product. I will take my business elsewhere.

    Thanks for keeping us posted, Robin.

      I'm glad I'm not the only one running into this.  I thought maybe I missed a step in migrating to the new version.

      I have a TON of research data in non-script documents in my projects, and they're not even an option in the new version.  I hope the June 2017 shutdown for classic gets pushed back if they can't get them up and running in CC by then.  It's only a few days away.
