"We are beginning a file migration project from file shares to SharePoint/Teams. This tool is valuable for providing an inventory and analyze prior to the migration. In addition, we are opening up to guest users in our tenant and the monthly guest user review is very helpful for site owners/team owners."
"ShareGate allows me to monitor my SharePoint sites and Teams groups all in one application. It is very handy with duplicating Teams sites or creating a template."

Frequently asked questions
ShareGate's Copy Teams feature migrates Teams between tenants or moves channels between Teams. You connect to source and destination tenants, select the Teams or channels you want to migrate, then choose what to include: channel messages, files, tabs, apps, Planner, and membership.
You can run the migration immediately or schedule it, and incremental copies are supported.
ShareGate migrates standard teams, standard and private channels, channel conversations (posts and replies), files in Teams channels, tabs and apps, Planner plans, and team membership.
What doesn't migrate: group chats, one-to-one chats (support is limited and often PowerShell-only), shared channels, and conversation elements like reactions, tags, previews, recordings, and meeting artifacts.
ShareGate doesn't migrate user accounts between tenants. Users need to already exist in the destination tenant. ShareGate then maps source users to destination users to preserve Teams membership, permissions, and user-related metadata.
It automatically searches for matching users in the destination using account name, email, display name, and other properties. If automatic mapping doesn't find the right match or you want full control, you can create an explicit user mapping file (CSV or SGUM) and reuse it across migrations.
If a SharePoint site is connected to a Team, don't migrate it separately. When you migrate a Team with ShareGate, the associated SharePoint site and Microsoft 365 Group come with it automatically.
Migrating the site separately means doing the work twice.
Only migrate SharePoint sites separately if they're not connected to Teams, like classic sites or standalone group sites.
ShareGate migrates apps from the Teams App Store, but custom apps aren't supported. Tab behavior depends on the type. Some tabs (like Wiki and Flow) aren't supported or need reconfiguration after migration. Microsoft tabs like Yammer, Power BI, Stream, Forms, and Whiteboard only work when migrating within the same tenant.
Third-party tabs typically copy over, but users usually need to reconnect and adjust settings. Tab order and some Files tab cloud storage folders can't be preserved during migration.
Teams meetings tied to the Team calendar don't migrate and need to be recreated. Dynamic group memberships convert to static, so you'll need to reconfigure dynamic rules. User-specific settings like favorites, profile pictures, status, and saved messages aren't preserved.
Many tabs and apps either don't migrate or need reconnection. Flow/Power Automate tabs, third-party tabs, and custom apps require manual reconfiguration. Conversation elements like reactions, likes, tags, and message previews don't migrate either.
