Sharegate 2.1 - New features

Wednesday, May 04, 2011 - Simon De Baene

We just released Sharegate 2.1 only two weeks after 2.0 with very interesting new features that this blog post will explain precisely.


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?


1- We now fully support Office 365 beta. You can now move all your files from your computer, your network drives or your existing SharePoint sites to Office 365 without losing your metadata. Great! Don't you think?

2- We added a new tool to copy list items around SharePoint. There was already a tool to copy documents between libraries and now there's a new one to copy items between lists. Let's say you start a new team site and you want to reuse contacts from another team site. In a few seconds, you can quickly copy your 200 contacts without having to call your IT guys. It just works.

3- We added a new innovative way to provide the metadata values. Prompt for a value during the copy allows the user to specify property values for each item during the copy. This way, you can preset values for some of the properties and Sharegate will prompt for the remaining ones during the copy. It's the easiest and fastest way to do it.

Before the copy:
Prompt for a value during the copy


During the copy:
Enter value for individual item during the copy


4- Folders are now fully support. It's possible copy or move a complex folder hierarchy in SharePoint. You just need to select the folders and press copy. You can also copy folders between your SharePoint libraries or lists.

5- Sharegate list items explorer shows the SharePoint default view columns. Next release will allow the user to choose the view to display.
