  Note:

  * The on-premises SharePoint site user must exist in the Azure Active Directory of the destination Office 365 account. This can be done via Azure AD Connect. For more details refer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnect-get-started-custom

  ** Similarly, the on-premises users of the source SharePoint group, specifically the group owner must exist in the Azure Active Directory of the destination Office 365 account.

  Site objects

  • Only the current version of lists and libraries can be migrated and this migration requires SharePoint Online Management Shell to be installed.
  • If objects aren't specified, then only the SharePoint sites will be migrated.
• Click on "Add and Run" to complete the migration. If you wish to only add the task and not run it immediately then click on "Add."
