Moving team channels is easy (when you know how to do it)

After using a system, solution or tool for a longer period of time, it usually either becomes a bit messy and/or you come up with other structures that you would rather have used. Just think back to how often you moved and reorganized folders back in the day when you were working against file servers. Then it was relatively easy to change the order of the folders in the structure you had built, but that was probably also the only advantage of working with folders on a file server. Enough about that. Today, we work in a more modern way and with tools that give us significantly more dimensions and possibilities.

Most of us who work a lot with Microsoft Teams are sometimes asked how to move a channel. The most common answer from me when I get this question is the counter question: “Do you need to move all posts as well or is it enough to move the files?”.

Migration is easy (when you know how to do it)

Most things are easy once you master them. Migration is no exception.

Wednesday, October 19, it’s time again for MVP-dagen in Oslo and it is a great pleasure for me to be able to participate and give a presentation here. The title of my session this time is “It’s easy to migrate files properly to Microsoft Teams (once you know how to do it)“.

In short, my session is about the following:

“Your new Teams are set up and configured with the structures that are suitable for your business. All employees have received the training needed to be able to work in the right way and in the same way. Now all that remains is the fun of moving in.

In my session you will get some good tips on how you and your colleagues can migrate files from “old sources” to your new Teams (and in the right way). You will also get tips on when you need to use migration tools.”

The scenarios we are going to go through are the following:

  • Move documents from OneDrive for Business to Microsoft Teams.
  • Move documents from existing sites in SharePoint Online to Microsoft Teams.
  • Move documents from existing sites in SharePoint On premise to Microsoft Teams.
  • Move documents from file shares to Microsoft Teams.

Everyone is welcome to this event which has many great sessions and many topics so there is something of interest for everyone. Hope to see you there!

Do you need a plan for how you can (and should) migrate files to Office 365?

How hard can it be? (my favorite phrase, in addition to “It depends”)

Isn’t it just about opening Windows Explorer and dragging over the files where they should be? Or can you not only use a script or a tool to copy all files to SharePoint and then start cleaning? Continue reading “Do you need a plan for how you can (and should) migrate files to Office 365?” →

Moving Content to Microsoft Teams

Are you going to migrate content to Microsoft Teams from SharePoint on-premises or file shares? Mapping, planning and preparation are usually the activity that require the most effort and time. The physical move doesn’t always have to be so complicated.
