Moving SharePoint data to a new Microsoft 365 tenant is not just about transferring files. IT teams also need to check whether the migrated content is accessible, whether the folder structure is correct, and whether users can continue working without unnecessary interruptions. A migration may look complete in the task report, but post-migration validation is equally important.

The SysInfo SharePoint Migration Tool provides migration reports that help administrators review completed, skipped, and failed items. Its Active Tasks section displays migration progress, while All Reports provides details that can be used to identify items that need attention. Administrators can also use filters to select content based on date, file size, extensions, or content type before transferring it. This can make large tenant migration projects easier to organize and review.

Another important step in SharePoint online migration is checking the destination environment. Compare the source and target sites, verify document libraries and lists, inspect custom columns and metadata, and confirm that the expected files are available. It is also worth checking whether the correct users can access the migrated content. One detail administrators should not overlook is that permissions, version history, legacy Designer workflows, and Power Automate flows attached to libraries are not migrated by the tool. These elements may need to be configured again in the destination tenant.

For organizations handling mergers, tenant consolidation, or IT restructuring, planning these checks in advance can prevent confusion after the transfer. Reliable SharePoint migration services should therefore involve more than moving data; they should also include a clear validation process and a plan for configuring destination-side settings.

How does your IT team validate a SharePoint migration after the transfer? Do you compare item counts, review migration reports, or ask users to test access to important sites and libraries?
