Copy Structure allows you to copy site objects from your source SharePoint environment to your destination SharePoint environment.
Prerequisites
- You have site collection admin permissions on your source site collection(s).
- You have site collection admin permissions on your destination site collections if you want to merge your source site collection or copy other site objects into an existing site collection.
- You have term store admin permissions on your source and destination if you have managed metadata (Terms, Term sets, Term set groups) in your migration scope.
Note: Site collection admin permissions are required even if you have higher admin privileges like SharePoint admin or Global admin permissions. For more information click here.
