    We’ll send you updates on this idea

    With today’s release of ShareGate Desktop 14.2, we have changed how we handle the auto assign as site collection administrator process.

    You will now have more granularity over what the auto-assign will affect (only sharepoint or one drives, but also only on some specific farm/tenants).

    The application now also allows you to remove the administrator where it was assigned, so simplify the process of turning off this feature if you want to.

    Thanks again for you feedback, it really helps us create a better product that works for you.

    For the full content of the release, please see: https://support-desktop.sharegate.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059149831

  2. License manager tool

    Access to a license manager for multi-license holding organisations that would:
    -show the last time Sharegate licenses were used for each user
    -allow the deactivation of seats

  3. Do not put an application shortcut when upgrading

    Holy ****!!! PLEASE for the love of Pete STOP putting a freaking shortcut on my desktop after every update!!! I can't stand software that does that!!! RAWR!!!! -- but seriously, love the product, except for that monstrous annoyance!!!! Once I got so frustrated that I accidentally deleted half the stuff on my desktop. Fortunately I had a backup. Ugh!!!

  4. Make error records in reports exportable

    Just working through our OneDrive sites trying to get match up sites with users making sure everyone has one provisioned.

    As I have no access to the site the site with basic details report fails on a large number of them. I still howveer need to extract the info it did retrieve.
    I can export the results but not the errors, yet it is the errors I need to fix.

  6. ShareGate Version Number

    Installed 5.20 yesterday. I was hoping to find an easy way to find version number in app to confirm, but can't find it. (I was looking for an About dialog box.)

    Perhaps include ShareGate version number in the Title bar that also serves as a link to more information about the version?

  8. Diagnostic mode inside the administration tool

    Options - Diagnostic
    Start Diagnostic Mode - only in Migration, I don't know if this feature can be put into the Sharegate product and not just the migration, as it would be helpful to give to you!
