@sns1,

  1. Currently, we could only check customization on three below levels:
    Migration Assessment Scan: Custom Permission Level
    Migration Assessment Scan: Custom Profile Property Mappings
    Migration Assessment Scan: Customized Pages

  2. Managed metadata columns are typically migrated, however support will depend on the migration tooling you select, such as SPMT, which supports the migration of content types and term stores.

    During migration, the default master page should be set on all sites that are migrated.
    Review the report and determine where you can move away from custom master pages before you migrate.
    If you have custom master pages assigned to sites, you will need to set the Master Page property on the new site after the migration has completed.

    In the check out file report, only checked-in content will be migrated. To avoid any potential data loss, encourage users to check in their files prior to migration. A site administrator can check in a file for a user, however only the content that was saved to SharePoint by the user would be migrated - if a user downloaded the file and was working on it outside of SharePoint, those changes would not appear post check-in.

HI Julie Wang,

Thank you for the response. I have gone through articles you have shared. Can you please clarify on my below questions:

  1. suppose we have got couple of sites in the customized master pages report, does it mean sites mentioned in this report should be set default master page after migration using designer, am I correct?

  2. How do we set the master page property on the SharePoint online site ( new site) after migration for the customized sites? Please give an example.

  3. Custom master page should not be migrated, meaning from custom master page report we should skip all those custom master pages from migration?
    and by doing so will it migrate the content?

  4. Post migration, how do we apply master page setting on the new site?

  5. what can be those additional user profile property which wont be migrated, can u give me some examples?

  6. I am not clear on what exactly supposed to do for the sites having customized pages?


  7. so custom permissions level created in the on premises sites will not be migrated to SP online?


  8. in the modern SharePoint online site, if there is no concept of master page ,what exactly is there in the modern online site instead of master page?

@sns1,

  1. No, sites mentioned in customized master pages report should be set default master page before migration, doing this ensures that the site will render once the migration is complete as the content migration will not have a dependency on any custom master pages.

  2. After migrate the site with default master page, if you still want to use custom master page, you need to re-deployed it in the new site, it's up to you, and you need to validate your customizations work on the new platform.

  3. You should set the default master page on those sites have custom master pages instead of skip those site.

  4. The same way you apply them in server site, note, these custom settings will not work in modern page.

  5. Except the default profile mapping, if you map a profile property to an attribute in Active Directory, or use Business Connectivity Services (BCS) to populate profile property values from a database or web service, those will not be migrated since Azure ad does not support extending the Azure AD schema and configuring additional profile property mappings.

  6. Use the default master page on those sites to replace custom master page, make sure the site will render after the migration.

  7. Mostly, to avoid permissions errors, it is recommended that you re-create custom permission level on the new site.

  8. Classic themes are hard to manage and using a modern tenant-controlled theme is much better.

Hi Julie Wang,

Please help on first point (answer),

Regarding customized master pages fix on first point point you have mentioned, it seems like it worked however it seems we get an error when switching to the default master on the front page, however the other pages are rendering fine...
so we can do with front page? 123277-capture.png

& few questions, please help me in understanding these questions also. Perhaps it could be last==)
how do we take custom master page from on premisis and re-work in SharePoint online?

do we need to take CSS & JS files from on premisis & Put it in the SharePOint online site assests & style library ?

If it so can you please give some clarity on site assests & style library role? & why should place CSS & JS files only in site assest and style library?
