Additions

  • The Reporting interface has been revamped to make it easier to find the reports you want or build a new one. You can also pick your favorite reports to find them faster.
  • A new action "Activate Auditing" has been added to the explorer to quickly activate it on your site collections, to allow you to use the Audit Report afterwards.
  • The Insane Mode for Microsoft 365 will now support incremental migrations.
  • The errors and warnings in the Migration Report will now be on the individual items and documents when using the Insane Mode for Microsoft 365 (instead of only having a summary on the Content entry).
  • The Migration Report can now be exported in CSV format.
  • Multiple sessions of the Migration Report can now be exported into the same file, both via the interface and via PowerShell.
  • Migrated documents can now be filtered by file extension by using an option in the Property Template. You can choose if you want to limit the migration to specific file extensions or exclude some extensions.
  • Migrating a Nintex workflow with the action "Set next state" to Microsoft 365 will now support the parameter "Other value...".
  • Migrating a Nintex workflow with the action "Create List Item" to Microsoft 365 will now preserve the variable that holds the output item ID.
  • The initializing time when migrating a Nintex workflow to a Microsoft 365 tenant for the first time will now be reduced and there will be an indicator that the copy is taking longer because the service needs to be initialized.
  • Users who have left the organization will now be preserved in the Created By and Modified By fields when migrating using the Insane Mode for Microsoft 365.
