Get this summer started off on the right foot and accelerate your migration to Office 365. More than 200,000 organizations and 190 million people have SharePoint for intranets, team sites and content management, join the ranks of those transforming their workplace with the SharePoint Migration Tool from Microsoft.
Helping people share files and collaborate on content has always been central to SharePoint. At the core of these principles is the content itself, the documents you create, the documents you manage, the documents you share and now we’re making it easier than ever to take advantage of the power content management and collaboration capabilities in SharePoint and OneDrive so you can share and manage content, knowledge, and applications to empower teamwork, quickly find information, and seamlessly collaborate across your organization.
Based on your feedback, today we’re pleased to share that we’re adding new support for Windows PowerShell to the SharePoint Migration Tool. With these new capabilities you’ll be able to address scale migrations and deliver automated, programmatic migration solutions through the SharePoint Migration Tool.
If you’re not familiar with the SharePoint Migration Tool we invite you to learn more about it here https://aka.ms/spmt.
New capabilities in this release include:

If you’re just starting your migration journey, it’s a good practice to know what, if any, issues you may face before committing to the migration and how to remediate those issues before you get started.
