Sharegate 2.6 is now available for download. Just in time for the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2011.
WHAT’S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
Preserving Office document properties during file migration
Sharegate now fully supports Office properties when using the tool Copy files to SharePoint. For a long time, many organizations have been using Office properties to store valuable information inside their documents and it must absolutely be preserved when migrating to SharePoint.
Supported Office products:
- Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- Visio
Map columns with different types
This feature is very impressive and it removes an important limitation in the product. It allows the mapping between two columns having different types. For example, you can map a lookup column with a managed metadata column if you want to convert your lookup values to terms while migrating from SharePoint 2007 to 2010.
Specify a unique key for list items
It’s now possible to specify the columns defining how an item is unique inside a list. Why? It allows Sharegate to detect if an item already exists during the copy process. It enables the overwrite mechanism to work correctly for list items. Defining explicitly a unique key is only available for lists, not for libraries since the file name is always the unique key.
Submit Error Report
As you all know, SharePoint can be very unpredictable because there is so many ways to configure it. Sharegate works just fine, but nothing is perfect in this world and quick support to our customers is really important for us so we’ve added a feature allowing users to submit instantly errors when they occurred. Your success with our product is a priority for us.
