Use a Guided Setup module to step through configuration of search application settings and enablement of AI Search for Next Experience on your instance.  
The Guided Setup for Zing to AI Search Migration module walks you through the following configuration steps:

1. Verifying that your instance satisfies the prerequisites for AI Search for Next Experience.
2. Migrating your existing Zing search application configurations for use with AI Search.
3. Enabling AI Search for Next Experience on your instance. This step makes AI Search the search engine for global and workspace searches in the Unified Navigation search field.

Once you've enabled AI Search for Next Experience, you can use the Guided Setup module at any time to perform either of these tasks:

* Enable AI Search for a newly installed workspace by adding its search application configuration into AI Search for Next Experience.
* Revert to using Zing as the search engine for the Unified Navigation search field by disabling AI Search for Next Experience.
