Moving SharePoint content between tenants (for a merger, acquisition, or restructuring) has more options than it used to, ranging from a manual drag-and-drop to a native Microsoft-managed pipeline. What you keep (permissions, version history, workflows) varies a lot between them, which is the real deciding factor, not just price. In this post: Native Microsoft 365

Worth a direct correction before anything else: neither the classic on-premises COM-automation script nor the “PnP PowerShell” example commonly shown for this actually produces a real Excel file without a caveat.

PnP (Patterns and Practices) is the umbrella for several separate tools that speed up SharePoint Framework development, PnPjs for calling SharePoint from code, PnP PowerShell for admin/automation tasks, and a library of reusable React controls for SPFx web parts. This post covers what each actually does, where the real limitations are, and two places the
This post covers a different problem than How to Update Term Store Values with REST API, MS Graph, JavaScript, and PnPjs. That post covers editing the terms themselves (renaming, restructuring the taxonomy). This one is about the far more common task: tagging a list item with an existing term through a Managed Metadata column, in
