Perform smarter site migrations with complete control
Modern SharePoint environments demand flexible and efficient migration solutions, especially as organizations shift to hybrid or cloud-based models. Native tools like the SharePoint Migration Tool lack the automation and depth to handle complex structures and metadata. SharePoint Manager Plus offers a fast and seamless migration experience, whether you're moving a SharePoint site to another tenant or between on-premises versions, including SharePoint 2019, 2016, 2013, and Subscription Edition. Minimize disruptions to your environment and move entire farms and site collections or specific sites with ease.
Planning your SharePoint site migration
Planning a site migration involves defining the scope, cleaning up existing content, designing the new information architecture, and preparing for user communication and training.
- Assessment and planning
Start by defining the migration scope and auditing all SharePoint data, including usage and structure. Cleaning up redundant or outdated content will reduce clutter and simplify the process.
- Preparation
Choose a SharePoint migration tool that can handle your environment and provide automated reports and back up data beforehand. Prepare users and help desk staff with clear communication and training.
- Execution and validation
Run a test migration with a small user group to identify issues and gather feedback, then execute the full migration while monitoring the progress. Afterwards, validate that all data has been migrated accurately and securely, and finalize the migration with a cutover to the new environment if you're using an incremental approach.
How to perform SharePoint site migration
SharePoint Manager Plus helps you migrate SharePoint sites to another tenant or across farms in a few clicks. Follow these steps to perform site migration:
- Log in to SharePoint Manager Plus and navigate to Migration > Site Migration and click + Add Migration Task.
- Choose the source and destination sites using the Select Source and Select Target fields.
- Select all necessary objects to be included, like site users, groups, permissions, and lists.
- Click Run Now or Run Later based on your preference. You can see the status in the Site Migration page.

FAQs
A SharePoint migration is the process of moving content, sites, configurations, and applications from one SharePoint environment to another. This usually involves upgrading from an older on-premises version, like 2013, to a newer one, or transitioning from an on-premises server to the cloud (SharePoint Online). The primary goals are to modernize the system, improve security, enhance collaboration features, and cleanse data.
Microsoft's native solution, the SharePoint Migration Tool, offers features for organizations to migrate to SharePoint Online. However, this tool has several limitations and challenges, such as lack of support for cross-tenant migrations, restricted file types, and limited visibility to plan your migrations. Third-party tools like SharePoint Manager Plus help migrate between different SharePoint versions and provide a more comprehensive feature set to streamline the process.
