July 2, 2019

Microsoft Teams has made some minor updates to how you can follow a channel. Previously, you would open the channel menu can click Follow or Unfollow. Following would add any activity to your activity feed.

Now, you can open the channel menu can click the Channel Notifications option. You have more options to choose from. Including if you receive a banner notification or just include any updates in your activity feed.

Managing these notifications can help you keep unwanted content out of your Activity feed, and allows you to be notified of the topics your most interested in.

ShareGate Promote allows you to restructure your SharePoint

June 13, 2019

The traditional approach to SharePoint site hierarchy typically meant creating a site collection with all of your “subsites” under it. This approach has its advantages and disadvantages. Microsoft’s recommendation is to use site collections for each of your sites instead, and they’re providing all of the tools we need to do so, including Site Designs, Hub Sites, O365 Groups, and other functionality. While subsites are still supported, they are not getting any attention going forward. To migrate from the traditional subsite hierarchy to the modern “flat” hierarchy, ShareGate is providing “Promote” functionality that allows you to upgrade your subsites to site collections as you migrate them.
