SharePoint Migration Tool create Structure only
Is there a switch in the SharePoint Migration Tool that only creates the structure of a Site Collection (webs, lists, document libraries, etc.) without migrating the content like ShareGate does with the copy-content (Copy Structure – ShareGate Desktop)?
Check if you can find anything in these Microsoft official documentations:

- Thanks ganeshsanap, I already checked the SPMT documentation but unfortunately this features is not mentioned.
I am using PowerShell with a JSON input file and I want to migrate the whole structure without migrating the content first, to check if all contenttypes, fields, list and library settings, etc. are migrated before migrating the content.- AFAIK, that feature is not available in the SPMT. If you want only to set the structure: Why not doing that task with a PS Script that uses as source the same JSON file but PnP cmdlets instead to create the structure based on the JSON file information?
