Moving Content from Yammer IT Pro Network
Hi Dean,
Like you I really hope that the content will be moved across, but I can imagine that this might be a challenge from a technical perspective. If it can't be moved across I certainly think it would be preferable to keep it in read-only mode.
Cai, I've heard nothing at all in the weeks leading up to this announcement about maintaining the O365 network in read-only mode, and in fact I doubt this is even possible. The shutdown of the Yammer Customer Network was only a short time ago, and I'm sure that if such a solution had been available, it would have been under broad discussion.
I think the safest working assumptions are that the O365 Network will be gone-gone in September, and that none of your favorite content will be relocated that you don't move yourself.
- If this is true, that's a real shame. I agree with all the comments, I use and refer others to much of the outstanding community created content.
- Yes - I was afraid that was the case.
- I've struggled with this. SOOO much valuable information in the network, but like Julian said, there is lots that I wouldnt feel "comfortable" just plopping into an open / searchable platform.
I didnt even use my OrgID, but my personal Microsoft account to register as I can't represent my organization to a "public facing" forum.
That makes the most massive hurdle to overcome (besides this horribly inefficient UI/UX) the fact that everything is starting over from scratch. The network probably won't be that useful for in-depth knowledge for quite a long time....- The thought of losing all of that content is hideous! There is so much out there and the amount of time that people have spent sharing their developed content is hugely beneficial to new companies beginning the journey.
If that is all lost, it will show a complete disrespect to everyone that took time to create and share that content as best practices.
It is the files and notes in particular that will be missed
