Export import search settings - SharePoint online

I have a lot of managed properties in my tenant and I want to copy them to another tenant.

Can I use the export/import search settings to achive this?

 

- does this export/import te "refinablestrings" etc. as well?

- does it also create the managed properties even if the crawled properties do not yet exist?

 

Thanks, Mike

  • Yes, it goes through all the managed properties.

     

    However in the past I have seen a few times things going wrong. When fields are created the internal name in two environments migth not match.

      I my case I create a site collection for a certain purpose. I need an exact copy of this site collection on another tenant so I think this approch might work. I'll give it a try.

       

      Thanks
