The setting to access hidden items like system lists and redirect sites

Updated over a week ago

This article covers the ShareGate Migrate setting to display SharePoint System lists and Redirect sites.

Access Hidden items settings

  1. Click Settings at the bottom of the left menu.

  2. Select the General tab.

  3. Scroll to the Hidden items section.

Available options

Display system lists

Toggle on to display system lists.

Here are some of the SharePoint lists and libraries affected by this setting:

  • Access Requests

  • Master Page Gallery

  • Site Pages

  • Site Assets (includes Copilot agents)

If you choose to display them, they will be available on the Explore screen and included in your operations.

For example, if you run a report on a site to find documents larger than a given size, this option will impact whether or not the results include documents found in system lists.

Note: With SharePoint Designer, any list or library can be hidden. To learn how to display these hidden lists instead, see Hidden Lists and Libraries.

Display redirect sites

Toggle on to display redirect sites in the explorer.

Redirect sites are created after a site address is changed or moved to a new geo-location.
