Replace/Map user across environment without doing a migration
I see that I can map users during a migration process to change, but is there any way I can update just the user? Like, replace my name all over their site collection with a different user in an easy way with this tool?

Migration of empty/non-valid values and choice fields
It would be nice if Sharegate could migrate lists that have either empty values for required fields and choice values that are no longer in the list settings for the choice field . This feature would inventory all choice and required fields, enable the Allow adding to choice values, remove required field, migrate the data, and then disable the allow adding to choice values and enable the required fields if applicable. This would save time for the admin who has to write/run scripts to take care of this.

Audit report - exclude users
- exclude system accounts
Good morning! I wonder if there is a way to have the Audit Reports have a checkbox to say "don't show system accounts" or "WE" can build them "ignore the search crawler account and the system account" as a checkbox so my results do'nt need to be filtered. I have a user who had permissions changed and I am looking for it. I want to find out which user / group moved it / changed it and I know it's not the search account or ME / system account. Just offering a sugestion! :)

Generate Sharegate Excel Files Using Powershell
We would like to be able to generate Sharegate Excel files using powershell. This would greatly help in automating the entire proces of migration for the powershell modules we have built around all of the other Sharegate powershell commands.
I would like to be able to have a command that produces the intermediate excel file like you can generate from the UI.
Input params would be:
Network location , siteurl, documentlibrary name, propertymapping, contenttypemapping, outputfilename, outputfolder.What would be even more awesome if you could think up a way to be able to insert Excel formulas into the propertymapping when…

Forgetting and/or Not Remembering Site (credentials) options in Sharegate Explorer
When connecting to a site in the Migration tool, you have options to not remember the site, and you can forget sites that are already remembered.
It would be mandatory to not preserve that information in the Sharegate Explorer as well for some users. It seems to go against policy to do so.

Allow licensing per user instead of per machine
We use virtual desktops (VDI) and it seems that your licences attach themselves to computer names. As we use VDI terminal our computer names are never the same. The way that you currently track licences make using ShareGate very unattractive.
We purchase many licensed software solutions and all except ShareGate run in a VDI environment without having the deactivate the licence every time you use it. Could the license model be changed?

Since the auditing capabilities in Office 365 were moved to the unified auditing log, we can no longer use the audit report as we used to in ShareGate Desktop. At the time, we do not support the auditing through the unified log and are not planning to support it. We will re-evaluate the situation in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.

Inventory SP 2007
Would like to run the inventory feature on a 2007 environment.
14 votesThis was not an easy decisions, but we had had to make the difficult choice. There are less and less SharePoint 2007 versions out there and the “plumbing” for that platform is immensely different from SharePoint 2010+ versions.
This meant we would have to re-write almost everything for SharePoint 2007 and decided to bring more reports and management features for the latest platforms instead.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feedback.
