test a backup and restore of your wallet using your seed phrase, then you will repeat the process of restoring the backup but onto the coldcard.
this way you are sure already that the restore works.
another tip for being sure is loading your wallet into a third party, open source provider like sparrow, instead of relying on bitbox software.
this would be an extra layer of confirmation that your restored wallet has all of your addresses/funds before moving onto the coldcard, which requires a third party wallet software
