How-To

  1. Click Copy.
  2. Select Copy Structure.
  3. Add your source credentials.
  4. Click Connect.
  5. Select your source. 
  6. Click Next.
  7. Add you destination credentials.
  8. Click Connect.
  9. Select your destination. 
  10. Click Next.
  11. Select the type of object you would like to copy from the list of Site Objects. Your options are:
    • Sites site-copy-structure.png
    • Lists and Libraries lists-and-libraries-copy-structure.png
    • Content Types content-types-copy-structure.png
    • Site Columns site-columns-copy-structure.png
    • Groups groups-copy-structure.png
    • Permission Levels permission-levels-copy-structure.png
    • Workflows workflows-copy-structure.png
    • Managed Metadata managed-metadata-copy-structure.png
  12. Select the site object(s) you want to copy from the source.
  13. Drag and drop it into the destination or click start-copy.png in the bottom right corner. See Copy Options if you need to apply specific parameters.
  14. Once the action is completed, the migration report will show any successes, warning, or errors. See Migration Report for more details.

Note: When a Group is detected at the destination, ShareGate Desktop does not automatically update the group membership. To ensure that your group has been migrated properly, you can run a Permissions Matrix Report, or copy the group before copying the object to ensure source members are added to the destination.

    I'm missing the ability to select a managed path where the new Site Collection has to be created. Is there any way or workaround to achieve this?
