Walkthrough - Copy Content

Copy Content allows you to migrate content to the desired destination. You can copy documents, list items, folders, and document sets in SharePoint or Office 365.

Prerequisites

• Site collection administrator permissions are always recommended.

Note: You can run a content migration with Full Control permissions, but you lose the ability to use Insane Mode in Office 365.

Migrating to a destination that contains workflows

If the destination list or library has any workflows enabled, we strongly suggest to disable them before your migration in order to prevent all workflows from being triggered during migration. You can re-enable them once the migration is complete.
