  1. Disable Workflows when Copying or Importing Content

    When using the copy content option to do an incremental migration on a library, the approval workflow on this library was started for all items in the library. Is this expected behavior? If yes, this information should really be provided as I was unable to find anything on your site referencing this or what to do to prevent it from happening. This can’t be something we would want to happen. It had quite a big impact on completing a migration since it created a huge problem I had to clean up.

  3. rename cloud copy job

    In Cloud Copy, after the job has run, there is no way to rename the job that ran. So, when migrating many teams from one tenant to another, it is difficult to figure out which Incremental job to run without keeping a log based on run date/time.

    This option is available in the desktop migration tool would love to see this in Cloud Copy

  5. Support Modern Authentication

    Team,

    They way we currently authenticate is using Basic auth as per the logs. Since Microsoft will stup supporting Basic auth in 2022, do you have any plans (or maybe already a solution) that is modern and not basic based?

  9. ShareGate Desktop Certification in Migration

    Are there any Certifications available for ShareGate which can be show cased in Resume to get confidence in Migration Activities?
    I see many products have their own certification like Nintex.
    It would be good to launch certain certifications for this product as well, so companies can get to know migration skill.

  11. custom views in document sets

    In ShareGate Desktop, custom views selected at the list level are applied within documents sets as well. I would like the same behavior as in SharePoint that no longer applies the view when opening a document set to display all items within it.

  13. Cutover Process after Copy

    Ability to set source environment read-only, setup URL redirection and perform final delta copy in once simple cutover process. This would be helpful for a single switch migration.

    Example of Process

    1. Perform initial copy from source to target
    2. Test
    3. Resolve any/all issues
    4. Cutover from source to target
      • Source SharePoint environment is set as Read-Only or Inaccessible.
      • URL Rewrite (redirection) is setup in IIS on source environment so all links redirect to target site.
      • A final delta copy is run to update changes.

  17. Keep selection when resuming session

    Hello, the option to go back to a completed/historical task is a great option. However, I find that when I select "Return to this Session" my selctions (ie I only want to copy certain files or sites) in the "copy from" window are dropped which greatly decreases the usefulness of this option. Can I please request that a feature is added whereby selections are saved with the task? Thanks, Mike.

  20. Allow PowerShell manipulation of the Metadata section of the Copy Options

    the New-PropertyTemplate cmdlet doesn't offer to affect the "Metadata" section of Copy Options during PowerShell migrations. Having the option to set a column to "Set Mapped Value or Default" through the script would allow us to have more control over a PowerShell migration
