+Overview
+--------
+
+The {+driver-async+} driver is a unification of {+driver-short+} and the `Motor
+library <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/motor/>`__. In this guide, you can
+identify the changes you must make to migrate an application from
+{+driver-short+} or Motor to the {+driver-async+} driver.
+
+Migrate From {+driver-short+}
+--------------------
+
+The {+driver-async+} driver behaves similarly to {+driver-short+}, but
+all methods that perform network operations are coroutines and must be awaited.
+To migrate from {+driver-short+} to {+driver-async+}, you must update your code
+to replace all uses of ``MongoClient`` with ``AsyncMongoClient`` and add the
+``await`` keyword to all asynchronous method calls. If an asynchronous method is
+called within a function, you must also mark the function as ``async``.
+
+Asynchronous Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following methods are asynchronous in {+driver-async+}:

+Migrate From Motor
+------------------
+
+The {+driver-async+} driver behaves nearly identically to the Motor library. In
+most cases, you can directly migrate existing Motor applications to
+{+driver-short+}, changing only the application's import statements, and
+by using ``AsyncMongoClient`` in place of ``MotorClient``.
+
+The following section shows the method signature changes that you must make when
+migrating from Motor to the {+driver-async+} driver:
+
+Method Signature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following Motor method signatures behave differently in the {+driver-async+} driver:
+
+- ``GridOut.open()`` returns ``None``.
+- ``AsyncMongoClient.__init__()`` does not accept an ``io_loop`` parameter.
+- ``GridIn.set()`` does not accept a filename. Instead pass a file name by using the
+  ``GridIn.filename`` attribute.
+- ``Cursor.each()`` does not exist in the {+driver-async+} driver.
+- ``stream_to_handler()`` does not exist in the {+driver-async+} driver.
+- ``to_list(0)`` is not valid in the {+driver-async+} driver. Use
+  ``to_list(None)`` instead.
