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.

would be really good if your product created a site map of all site collections and sub sites across the farm in a visual diagram that could be saved as an image or pdf

Preserve List Items IDs for On-Premise Migrations
Preserve List Items ID's
69 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,

SharePoint and Fileshare Inventory Drill Down
It would be neat if you could take the SharePoint inventory report and drill down into the individual stats :
- Expand workflows since they do not show up in the errors that you can export
- Be able to click on a summary like unused sites and see a list of all the unused sites
- Expand checked out files, custom master pages, unsupported templates
- Sort site collections by size, number of sites, workflows, etc.

Multi-user selection in the search section for features "add/remove/copy permissions"
Remove all users in a site collection without going to each sub-site and removing them from security groups.
I have over 700 users that need to be removed in multiple sub-sites and various security groups. It would take me forever to remove them if I have to add their names individually.
Being able to select many users at a time in the search section for features like “remove permissions”. For now you have to search for one user, add it, search for another one, add it, etc.
43 votesWe understand that the situation is not ideal, but we have no plan on doing this for now.
We might get to this eventually.

Web Part Report
It would be very useful to undergo a report for Webparts within a site collection.
Checking which webparts are open and in use within a site collection if important for migrating accross platforms. This type of report would be VERY useful for SharePoint teams as it would highlight sites which need attention from the developers (if a webpart is custom for example) to ensure they dont break.
Please can this be added?

Compare Two Environments
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 libraries275 votesThis is not currently in our plan to allow our users to compare two environments.
We might do it in the future, possibly starting with permission as it seems like it would be the most useful part on security level.
