Hello AMJ_Devon,

 

I think a "Drop Off library" and associated content organizer rules would work as an "out of the box" solution.

 

Flow could also achieve this.

 

I hope this helps.

    Norman YoungMe again! I have looked into this a little more and it says that I need to activate the Content Organizer feature but when I try I get this error message:
    Site
    The Site scoped feature being activated has a dependency on hidden Site Collection scoped feature 'FeatureDefinition/15/0c8a9a47-22a9-4798-82f1-00e62a96006e' (ID: '0c8a9a47-22a9-4798-82f1-00e62a96006e'). Hidden features cannot be auto-activated across scopes. There may be one or more visible Site Collection scoped features that auto-activate the dependent hidden feature.

    Any ideas what this means?

      AMJ_Devon If you are using a new Group Enabled Team Site, then some of the classic SharePoint Site Features are not enabled by default (don't ask me why, I have not seen an explanation from Microsoft), but to use the Content Organizer feature, you first need to enable the "SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection Features" on the Site  Settings page, (under the Site Collection Features link)

        Thanks Dean_Gross Our organisation has a lot of things switched off so might get nowhere fast on this one. Cheers for the tip though!
