ShareGate Migrate supports most versions of SharePoint and can import your data from a file share, Google Drive, and Box.com.

For more info, see SharePoint versions and other systems ShareGate Migrate support.

As of version 7.0, ShareGate Migrate is only available in English.

Windows Server 2019, the latest version of Microsoft's server operating system, is supported by the ShareGate Migrate.

You can migrate content from OneDrive for Business and My Site with Copy content only. In ShareGate Migrate, you can connect to the address of an individual My Site or OneDrive for business and copy content from the Documents library.

You will need Site collection administrator permissions on the OneDrives or My Sites you want to migrate to and from, even if you have higher permissions like SharePoint or global admin.

If you want to migrate many OneDrives or My Sites, you can find the PowerShell script that matches your scenario in our OneDrive migrations section.

You can migrate some of your GoDaddy Microsoft 365 content with some restrictions.

For more info, see GoDaddy Microsoft 365 limitations

Meeting Workspace site templates have limited support for migrations since they were discontinued as of SharePoint 2013.

For more info, see Copying meeting workspaces is not fully supported.

ShareGate Migrate does not support applications. You can manage your apps directly through SharePoint.

For more info, see the Microsoft article Add an app to a site.

ShareGate Migrate does not access your recycle bins.

To run a migration or report on the content of your recycle bins, you have to restore the content to make it accessible in SharePoint.

When you connect to the same source and destination as a previous migration, the mapping selections you last saved will be restored, even when you start a new migration.

Users, Permission Levels, and Site Templates are handled at the site collection level, so when the source and destination site collection are the same, the mappings are maintained through all sessions.

Property and Content type mappings are associated with specific lists. They are maintained when you connect to the same lists as a previous session.

If you restore a migration using Recent Sessions from the Migration Report, the ShareGate Migrate will restore the copy options you had previously saved for that session.

Changing the source or destination of a restored session will not affect the copy options if you migrate with Copy structure and content. Changing the source or destination from a restored session will reset the copy options to the default values if you migrate with Copy content only.

The title and URL are always reset if you change the target in the source or destination.

With a few exceptions, ShareGate Migrate preserves unique IDs for all taxonomy objects (term groups, term sets, and terms) in SharePoint.

For more info, see Copy Managed metadata IDs.

To verify that ShareGate's server extension is installed on your SharePoint server, follow these steps:

No. Due to the complexity of the operations performed by ShareGate Migrate, you can only cancel a running migration task.

Yes, links in pages, lists, and libraries will be updated to reflect the new destination URL.

You can turn automatic link updates off when copying content only. Otherwise, this operation cannot be customized.

An orphaned user is a user account still referenced by SharePoint even though the user cannot access SharePoint anymore. The list of orphaned users is retrieved from the SharePoint User Information List.

When you deactivate or delete a user from your Active Directory (AD), that user's permissions and references in metadata fields such as Created by and Modified by do not get removed in SharePoint or Microsoft 365, and that user becomes an orphaned user.

To learn why you should remove orphaned user permissions and how to remove them, see Clean orphaned users.

Orphaned user values in Person or group fields (i.e., Created by and Modified by) are only preserved when you migrate to Microsoft 365 in Insane mode.

Insane mode uses the Microsoft 365 migration API, allowing ShareGate Migrate to set orphaned users in these fields.

List item IDs are only preserved when you migrate to Microsoft 365 in Insane mode.

For more info, see List item IDs.

You cannot undo delete operations, but you can recover the object in the Recycle Bin found in your Site Settings.

For more info, see the Microsoft article Manage the Recycle bin of a SharePoint site.

No. An incremental migration will only copy source files if they are new or have been modified since the last migration. ShareGate Migrate does not delete your files at the destination to ensure the integrity of your data.

No. Individual views cannot be migrated.

You can include or exclude all your customized views from a Copy structure and content migration.

ShareGate Migrate will only be able to see and handle the last checked-in version of your files.

For more info, see Changes that were made since the last checked version will be lost during the migration.

When you migrate content with date and time values like Created and Modified, ShareGate Migrate copies the underlying SharePoint time value.

That time value is displayed based on your site's time zone in SharePoint. If your source and destination SharePoint sites are in different time zones, the time will appear adjusted for the destination's time zone after the migration.

When you copy a Wiki page from a Wiki Page library to an Enterprise Wiki site, the Wiki page becomes empty at the destination. This is because your source and destination Wiki will not use the same content type since an Enterprise Wiki site keeps your Wiki pages in the default Pages library, and regular Wiki pages are kept in a Wiki page library.

It is possible to migrate your wiki pages to an Enterprise Wiki site. For more info, see Copy a wiki page from a Wiki Page library to an Enterprise Wiki site.

Several reasons exist why some users in your Person or Group fields are not preserved.

Verify the following scenarios to determine how you can handle the missing users:

An encrypted version of your credentials is stored when connecting with the Other user connection method.

For the other connection methods, the application preserves the authentication cookies locally. ShareGate Migrate will not save the credentials themselves.

PowerShell scripts cannot be generated from ShareGate Migrate directly.

However, script examples can be found in our PowerShell articles.

A Microsoft 365 Group is an Azure Active Directory object that allows you to manage the membership of several Microsoft services like SharePoint, Teams, and Planner.
