Quickly compare source and destination content in order to see what needs to be incrementally migrated and to prove to customers that every item from the source made it to destination.

To be compared:
-items
-site settings
-site features
-lists and libraries

For example, if a file has been deleted in the source after it had gotten copied over to SharePoint, can it be deleted in SharePoint?

The goal is to re-sync only the updates, additions and deletions without the need to copy the whole thing again. It allows to keep on using the source environment while keeping the destination one sync until we're ready to go live with the new site.

Applies to:
-users
-documents (move them to a different location if the user has moved it since the last update)
-content types
-columns
-terms

A feature through which we can correct the links...
-located inside pages
-located inside documents
-located in any type of migrated item
-external links
-links pointing to unpublished documents.

Be able to run and schedule reports using PowerShell.

-show number of views to a site, or a document.
-show number of visits and of unique visitors.
-show trending content.
-show number of other audited events.
-show most active users.
-Run it on the entire farm and show stats by sites.

The goal is to monitor internally the user's experience with SharePoint.

Review the way Sharegate uses the auto-assign feature

• Handle differently per type of site (OneDrive, Groups, Team sites)


• Setting per tenant / farm / connection


• Option to auto-remove after each operations


• Handle special cases (eDiscovery sites, NO ACCESS or Read-only)

[Admin note: Merged all suggestion related to more complex filtering during Migration or Import]

• Filter on full file names instead of just exensions.


• Filter with wildcards


• Include / Exclude folder by name using the custom templates


• Exclude specific (sub) folders based on names


• Timestamp/range filters - last modified date and created date


• List or site template filters


• Filter by property (name, type, etc.)


• Filter by size


• Filter empty objects (sites, libraries, folders, ...)


• Exclude specific type of objects (Microfeed...)

Report on the metadata columns used inside lists and libraries.

Having to remember to keep the selection, verify the copy & then delete stuff when you're moving thousands of files around is really hard & painful when you make a mistake. It would be great if you guys had a move option that took care of all of that

The idea is to use the migration report to start a new migration of the files that error out only, instead of running a full incremental migration.

Display more details while operation is running and as summary on completion:
- Elapsed time
- Breakdown by sites, lists/librairies, files, items instead of just "items" and "objects" count
- Possibility to drill down progress breakdown by site, by list
- Size of processed data (+ total if possible)
- Inbound / Outbound network speeds
- Remaining time (if possible)
- Time / size of Azure upload jobs
- etc.

For Migrations in PowerShell, add -vebose like cmdlet to allow users to see the progress of the migration instead of waiting for the migration to finish/script execution to end.

• Find all workflows that are running or in-progress


• See the name of the workflows


• Run report on workflows, out of the box, SP designer, Nintext, 3rd party


• Be able to create a report that will list the status of the workflows


• Report on workflows published by a specific user


• Report on how many workflow tasks are assigned to a particular user

-Run reports on the recycle bin content
-Be able to restore the content
-Be able to delete the content

Archival of O365 content

• Store in Azure


• Store locally (download)


• Restore to O365 or locally

Browse / Search archive

Backup features
- Scheduled / Incremental options

• run reports on managed metadata


• Term/Termset usage report


• create a report which can tell us which documents do not have metadata attached to it

It would be nice to be able to pause the migration and then later restart it

By adding InfoPath to the filters, one could find all the lists that uses them and it could be helpful in some migration scenarios.

Preserve List Items ID's

Pull reports on duplicated files or documents. Clean them after.

Add the possibility to add permissions at the item level with the reporting tool.
