Report on ''Link''
I am hoping that a report could be made to search thru all list library items that have a content Type of “Link” (or Document Library with a content type of “Link to document”) and then be able to do a “contains” or “ends with” option so we can target a selected Link or page

Copy permission scopes from one object to another
The idea would be to be able to copy the permissions as they are, from one object to another. Currently, this can only be done in a granular fashion with Quick Actions.

Add Custom Rules and Filters During Migration or Import
[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...)
166 votesWe feel like our migration experience is quite good right now and we don’t plan on doing custom rules and filters for now.
Some of those can already be done using PowerShell, SharePoint views and other means.
We will eventually reevaluate this once we advance further in our roadmap.

Custom rules or columns, and more built-in columns in Inventory and migration/pre-check reports
[Admin: Merged all suggestions pertaining to inventory- or migration-related reports. This will allow better understanding of the priority of this topic]
Pre-Check and Migration reports
-Add more columns (sizes, end times, etc.)
-Also enhancement to the Session summary screen to include URLs, total size, etc.Inventory
Would be very good if we as users can customize the rules and columns:
-Add custom columns like Site owners
-Be able to change the settings of the inventory (ex: change the unused sites time to x months)
-Have more available details at each level (Number of items, Last modified date, size, etc.)
-See…54 votesWe have no plan of improving the Source Analysis (previously known as the Inventory) for now.
We might eventually come back to it (or the pre-check) and will let your know if we do.

Bulk edit metadata without affecting version number
We would like to bulk update the metadata of a library. However, we would like to keep the current version number of the documents, so it cannot be increased when we use ShareGate to bulk update the metadata.

Preserve List Items IDs for On-Premise Migrations
Preserve List Items ID's
68 votesHi everyone,
Lately we decided to shift most of our energy towards migrating, managing and adopting Office 365. When we create new features, we make sure they also work with SharePoint on-premise (if possible), but we are not planning on developing more options of features specifically for on-premise at the moment.
I’ll keep the suggestion open and our ears are still open to new comments.
Thank you,
