Manage changes in SP online production lists and workflows
I've started looking into the PnP stuff. Very interesting. I'm leaning towards the Powershell approach, because I am not a developer and don't work with Visual Studio or .Net and adding that to my learning curve is a bit too much at the moment.
It's a lot to take in. Once I'm ready to test I'll try a site with workflows and InfoPath list forms and report back.
Don't hesitate to ask here any thing you would need...there are some guys at the network using heavily PnP cmdlets
- If you're not a developer and trying to accomplish the task you outlined in the original question, you really need to look at some third party tools to manage moving content. I don't believe PNP will help solve anything from your original post of making changes to production applications.
Started testing with PnP Powershell and it is exactly what we need. The PnP developer story is not for me, that's true, but we are using Powershell for lots of other automation and update tasks (e.g. Chocolatey for scripted/automated application updates) the the Powershell PnP fits beautifully into that story.
I was able to create a provisioning template and apply it to an existing site, then change a workflow in the template site and apply the changes via Powershell. Great so far.
I have not found a way to bring a list form customised with InfoPath across with the PnP provisioning commandlets, though.
I'm also getting a trial for ShareGate. I'll write up my findings.
Very nice- yes I've moved List forms developed with InfoPath using ShareGate before. Be curious to hear your experience with that. Cheers!
