  1. Improve Teams copy screen load time

    The interface to open the Teams site to select one to copy gets hung up - I think because we have a large number of Teams sites. We have 12460 sites and it seems to try to populate the details for all of the sites up to the point where I have scrolled to. I'm scrolling instead of searching because the search option seemed to freeze the whole application so I think there is just a general issue with large result lists on the page where you select the Teams site you would like to copy. It has been "thinking"…

  3. Apply template / design theme (when promote) to Modern Sites

    I use Sharegate to migrate my classic (sub) sites to the modern site (collections). It would be great if we could apply theming / design to the moderns sites by selecting options that creates and runs a script in the background. Because we don't like to script this ourselves ;-)
    It will set the logo / colors / default theme etc and creates a modern home page. So all modern sites look consistent. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-overview?branch=sitedesign

  6. Ability to use common keys and shortucts

    Provide improvements to the item selection interface. Being able to use common keys and shortucts like directional arrows, spacebar, ctrl and shift will aid in the selection of items, specially in large migrations.

  7. Please make the interface accessibility compliant. US government agencies are not allowed to purchase software that doesn't pass 508 complia

    United States government agencies are not allowed to purchase software that doesn't pass accessibility compliance. That means contractors and agencies that work with government entities can't use a piece of software that is non-compliant no matter how good it is.

  8. Add "Copy From" and "Copy To" in the Copy screen

    As one of innumerable admins who work long and fluctuating hours, and who still perform some migrations through the GUI, it would be super awesome if there were a visual indicator of source and destination sites in the migration interface. Even better, a "Copy From" and "Copy To" heading over each column. When you're preparing to merge a large site collection into a blank target site at 2 in the morning, it would be very reassuring to know beyond a shadow of doubt that I'm not erasing one of the company's primary knowledge portals. The URLs can be very similar…

  9. Attempt to auto-renew access token for Browser based authentication

    At least 50 times a day (seriously) I get a prompt labeled "Connection Required" that asks me if I want to connect or cancel task. This message is for renewing the access token according to support. At this point the migrations scheduled later have been paused until I deal with this message. I press Connect and it renews the token and starts working on the migration. According to support the developers do not want to assume you want to renew this token. I'm not sure why you wouldn't. So how about a setting in Configuration for "Attempt auto-renewal of Access…

  10. On the Scheduled Tasks page have the ability to sort based on Task Name

    All the columns on the Scheduled Task page allow you to sort ascending or descending (Type, Next run, Last run, Recurrence) except for the first main column Task which is the task name. When I'm trying to find a specific task name and there is no search feature, it would be nice to be able to sort on this column.

  12. Site Provisioning through an endpoint form request for users

    This would be a feature where a user can have access to a form to request sites (Teams or communication) based off templates and approval process.

  13. Differentiate Microsoft Teams that have the same name.

    It would be beneficial to add additional information, such as the underlying URL, to Microsoft Teams listed in the Sharegate Migration tool.

    There currently isn't a way to easily tell the difference between multiple teams, with the same name, that you may wish to copy.

  14. Remember window size and position

    Please make the previous window size and location of the application sticky. ShareGate continually opens maximized, and I do not need nor want it to open on a full 32" screen. That's more acreage then any text-based application needs.

    Please provide an option to control initial startup size/location.

  16. Down Arrow in UI for scrolling

    It would be cool if there was a down arrow that was used to navigate through the search results in a report.

    Right now the only options is to drag which can be annoying sometimes.

  17. Seamless navigation when using back and then going to the same place again

    Back button for Tasks, when I press the back button to check on another task happening, is there NO way to have it cached? I was just there, and it has to load all over again, it can take forever!

  20. Adapt to my small laptop screen

    ShareGate on my corporate issued laptop is almost unusable due to how large the UI elements have scaled. Please consider an adaptable UI that adapts to the size and resolution of users who must do some work from a laptop.
