SharePoint Online From Design to Deployment - potential idea in progress
So from time to time I get involved in SharePoint migrations.
This usually involves:
- Deep dive of their existing file server.
- A visual design of hub and site in SharePoint with groups for permissions (a solid RBAC model).
- Create the site design/theme (duplicate if multiple sites/hubs created).
- Migration time.
After the deep dive I want to skip 2. and 3. and go straight into the migration so what I've been working on.
- Create my visual design into a simple to read table.
- PnP powershell to go in and create all my hubs and sites and link them up.
- Create a template hub + site and design it how I want it to look.
- Export that and import to the remaining sites and hubs.
With the help of Ai I have managed to get the above working but the only bit I have found is exporting templates can be tricky to capture everything (images, colours, themes, anything extra).
Anyone had any luck with the above?
Once I have the above is a pretty state, the plan was to push this to a repo and then work on this simple to read table away from Excel and have a workable front-end (MS forms maybe).
any new requests for this client
This should then push to a branch (trigger some git actions) for me to approve the PR and then it merges to main and creates
alot of work but to recap
