SharePoint Migration Checklist: 25 quick checklists for SharePoint migration
- Get the source site structure inventory; it might have a lot of nested subsites.
- In modern SharePoint, online subsites are not recommended; Microsoft recommends having each site as a separate site collection (here we don’t call it a site collection, we call it a site).
- Prepare a mapping in Excel for which source site goes to which target modern site. Including each subsite to a modern SharePoint online site.
- Create an inventory of all lists or libraries on the source site that have more than 5k items because the threshold issue needs special attention post-migration.
- Create an inventory of all checked-out files in the source site, because during migration you will get an error for this.
- Create an inventory of all lookup lists in the source.
- Make sure, while migrating the list, you migrate the parent lookup list first, then the main list.
- Create an inventory of all workflows in the source and categorise which are designer workflows, Nintex workflows, or any other workflow.
- Make sure before migration the user completes all running workflow in the source.
- Create an inventory of all InfoPath forms in the source and come up with a plan to develop an alternate form for those because, after 2023, Microsoft will no longer support the InfoPath form.
- If you have a custom WSP solution, prepare an alternate plan to re-develop the solution using modern technology like the SPFx framework; custom WSP cannot be migrated to SharePoint Online.
- Prepare an inventory of all long file paths in the source and create a mapping sheet in Excel that should be the shortened path after the migration.
- Create an inventory of supported file types in source and target, so that if some files do not get migrated, you will know the reason.
- There will be a chance that you will not get all users in the target SharePoint online, so create a dedicated migration user that will be mapped for missing users; otherwise, for missing users, logged-in users will be used, which is not recommended.
- Try to use any third-party tools like ShareGate or Metalogix.
- Don’t do the content and structure migrations together.
- First, let’s do the structure migration, then go for the content migration.
- For content migration, don’t do all site content at once; go list by list; otherwise, error handling will be messed up.
- Make sure you set the list default experience to modern in the target before migration; it can be done through the tool.
- Make sure you lock down the source site during migration; otherwise, you need to have a proper delta or incremental migration plan.
- Prepare a plan for the hub site and the mega menu structure in SharePoint Online and connect each migrated site to the specific hub site.
- Prepare a training plan for the end-user because the UI will be completely changed after migration.
- Identify a dedicated site owner for each migrated site, and do not plan more than two site owners for a single site; otherwise, it will be messed up.
- After each site migration, get confirmation from the responsible site owner and then mark the site migration status as done.
- After migration, randomly navigate through the site navigation, mainly the Infopath form and user permissions on the site.
- Last but not least, don’t forget to have a rollback plan for any type of uncertainty and a Plan B for the migration; these two are very important
