I'm not aware of any limits around the content organized but I bet that in your scenario you will probably reach some kind of limitations...as an alternative to the Content Organizer, I would suggest to develop the entire solution

Thanks Juan, my gut feeling tells me too we'll run into some limitations... I'd love to get some more tangible advice here, also around future / modern investments in the feature. Will Content Organizer still be a valid component to use for the foreseeable future and also will the be a Modern Experience for it soon.

 

VesaJuvonen would you be able to share your thoughts here?

    I can't really confirm or deny future of the content organizer at this point, but SharePoint engineering is starting to move forward now with the modernization of these DM features. Now that baseline with modern team sites and communication sites have been established, we can start modernizing other capabilities. What that means exactly for content organizer is something which we can't unfortunately really explicitly call out at this point.

      Hey Vesa,

       

      Any clarification on the future of the Content Organiser? It is something my users really like, so I want to know how "future proof" solutions are that we are implementing now on Sharepoint Online using that feature

       

      Thanks

        Hi Nigel, we don't really have anything specific to report now around the content organizer. It's absolutely a great capability. We are looking into investing more and more on the document management capabilities in the modern experiences as well, but not sure on the exact plan around content organizer, so can't really comment anything specific at this point.

         

        We should be able to share some new ideas around the Enterprise Content Management in SPC on the week of 21st of May. Obviously, all announcements will be also pushed out as blog posts with associated documentation, so you do not need to be present in Las Vegas to hear about the direction... even though even will be certainly great.
