Moving Folders - Content and Structure
Appreciate help for any inbuilt solution in SharePoint Online to move folders and underlying documents from one sub-site to another sub-site within the same collection. We need to preserve the metada...
The move to command requires a modern UI view, so you will have to activate that for your site if it's not already on. I'm not 100% sure if you can even use the Move to command to a sub site either thou so that may not be an option. You might have to use the SharePoint migration tool, which should allow you to move documents I think it supports retaining history and creaded/modified metadata as well. If not you'll have to look at 3rd party migration which does provide full history/metadata move over.
- There are many third party apps from vendors like AvePont's that provide this functionality and much more for a reasonable cost. There are PS scripts that enable this too if you are able to utilize powershell.
Am I incorrect in observing that the SP Migration tool doesn't support site to site migration?
The "Move To" feature seems to need a lot of babysitting for large migrations.
Do you have any links to the PS scripts that might help?
I tried the "Move to" from the modern UI, even though it allows to select the folders and even the destination of a different site, but the final move operation is not successful and gets into following error. "Unable to get property 'code' of undefined or null reference".
