My daughter gave me her ipad. I have an older version and would like to migrate the data from mine to hers. I already changed the ID to mine but don't know how to transfer the data now. Please help.

How do I migrate my data from an older ipad to my daughter's ipad that she gave back to me?


iPad Air 3, iPadOS 14
