Sharegate 2.4 - Fast ways to move SharePoint folders, documents and items

Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - Simon De Baene

Sharegate is back again with another great release. Our focus for Sharegate 2.4 was the productivity and you’ll definitely save time with our new features.

WHAT’S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?

Home screen

We added a home page that provides a quick access to the Sharegate tools and the recent sessions. The home page was built with productivity in mind. Give it a try.

Quickly restart recent sessions

You no longer need to configure the wizard from scratch to start a copy on frequently used lists or libraries. Sharegate lets you restart a recent session in a single click. The session history is available from the home screen and the file menu. This new feature is really productive.

From the home screen:
Recent sessions available in the ribbon

Default property templates

Again, productivity was the ultimate goal in this release. We added default property templates allowing users to start a copy without having to a create property templates for basic scenarios:

- Copy with history
- Copy without history
- Copy and prompt for metadata

The default property templates are displayed in orange on top of the list.

Business data column support

The business data column type enables users to add data from business applications to their lists using the Business Data Catalog. This is a powerful SharePoint feature, but moving documents or items with external data column is not an easy task.
Sharegate now fully supports the business data column type.

Support copy for Business Data Catalog

 
Windows shortcuts

Windows users use keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This is why we added support for basic shortcuts:
- CTRL + C (copy)
- CTRL + V (paste)
- CTRL + W (close the tab)
- F5 (refresh the explorer)
- Middle click (close the tab)

When using the tool that copy files to SharePoint, you can use the copy/paste shortcuts from Window Explorer to Sharegate.


Improved Ribbon menu

We improved the ribbon menu by adding contextual actions in the ribbon. This makes the user interface easier to understand.
