Release Notes 5.23

Updated

Version: ShareGate Desktop 5.23

Date: 2017-10-02

What's New?

Improved Explorer 

As an initiative towards improving your experience as a user, you will find a complete overhaul of the Explorer. 

Communication Sites Supported 

You can now migrate communication sites. No worrying about losing your beautiful formatting or having to re-do it from scratch, because you will find everything as you left it when your migration is finished running.

Fixes

Management

  • The Quick Actions menu has a new style of buttons.

  • Remove Anonymous Guest Links is no longer an option available from the Quick Actions menu.

  • Break/Restore Inheritance (an option for documents, list items, and folders) is available from the Quick Actions Panel.

  • Removed Clear Version History, Check-In, and Discard Check-out for list items since these actions are not yet available for that object type and were displaying by mistake.

  • You will no longer see unaccessible Microsoft 365 site collections in the Explorer.

  • A new context menu that opens when you right-click a URL allows you to open them in your browser and copy them to your clipboard.

  • The filter button will no longer get disabled in a duplicate report even though the results have loaded.

  • The file name will be displayed when you export a Property Template using Bulk Edit Content instead of the name of the template.

  • Sometimes the confirmation window would not prompt when using Bulk Edit Content in automatic mode.

  • Some reports in the All Tasks section would not show their results anymore after updating to a new ShareGate Desktop Desktop version.

  • The column “Report storage location” on site collection reports would not show any information when selected.

  • The Remove Permissions feature would sometimes fail to load all existing groups.

Migration

  • Opening item details in a migration report would cause the Back button to disappear.

  • Group Templates are supported when you are migrating to Microsoft 365 with both Insane and Normal mode.

  • Better error handling for copying permissions when you undergo an Import from File Share in Migration.

  • You will no longer see an error for Comment count and Like count list columns when migrating a list from a Microsoft 365 source to a SharePoint On-Premises destination.

  • We improved how the error details are displayed in Migration.

  • You can now download the Microsoft Azure manifest package for a Microsoft 365 import using Insane Mode.

  • Folders with a name starting with a tilde (~) will have their first character replaced when migrating to SharePoint 2016 and Microsoft 365.

  • You can now copy an item for which the permissions at the destination are given indirectly, even if you are not the Site Collection Administrator.

  • Going forward, ShareGate Desktop Desktop does not migrate list workflows that are created with SharePoint Designer for SharePoint 2007 when they are no longer associated to the list.

  • When using an incremental update to import a file towards a Microsoft 365 destination with Insane Mode, the file would be copied if the modified date in the document properties was different than the one in the file system.

  • Prevented a possible memory leak caused when a file version is corrupted at the source environment of a migration.

  • Group Mappings for SharePoint 2003 support Security Groups as well as SharePoint groups.

  • Fixed an edge case that caused deadlock during a migration using Insane Mode to Microsoft 365.

  • When migrating to a SharePoint 2016 destination, navigation would sometimes be in a different order than it was at the source of the migration. 

  • ShareGate Desktop now preserves the OneNote Notebook file type when migrating to a OneDrive.

General

  • Improved document property extraction by only executing on supported file types.

  • An issue with Windows notifications would sometimes cause a crash when starting the ShareGate Desktop Desktop Application.
