+# 8.0 Upgrade Guide
+
+## ProjectUsing
+
+The `ProjectUsing` method consolidated with `ConvertUsing`:
+
+```c#
+// IMappingExpression
+
+// Old
+void ConvertUsing(Func<TSource, TDestination> mappingFunction);
+void ProjectUsing(Expression<Func<TSource, TDestination>> mappingExpression);
+
+// New
+void ConvertUsing(Expression<Func<TSource, TDestination>> mappingExpression);
+```
+
+To migrate, replace all usages of `ProjectUsing` with `ConvertUsing`.
+
+The `ConvertUsing` expression-based method will be used for both in-memory mapping and LINQ projections. You cannot have separate configuration for in-memory vs. LINQ projections.
+
+### Existing `ConvertUsing` usages
+
+The change from `Func` to `Expression` may break some existing usages. Namely:
+
+- `ConvertUsing` using lambda statements, method groups, or delegates
+- Dual configuration of `ProjectUsing` and `ConvertUsing`
+
+For the first case, you may either:
+
+- Convert to a lambda expression
+- Move to the `Func`-based overloads
+
+The `Func`-based overloads accept more parameters, so you may have to add the parameters to your delegates.
+
+### Motivation
+
+Simplify overloads, and to make it clear that you cannot have separate configuration for LINQ projections vs. in-memory mapping.
