Move or restructure SharePoint sites within one tenant
New site structure by department, an intranet redesign, classic subsites to lift into modern sites: restructure without losing document history.
Short answer
Within one tenant, Tauri Migration copies a site, library or folder to another site with its columns, content types, versions and permissions. One sign-in is enough, accounts stay the same and the global taxonomy is shared.
When SharePoint’s “Move to” is not enough
For an occasional folder, SharePoint’s built-in command does the job. A restructure needs more: creating columns and content types in the destination site, carrying permissions, handling dozens of libraries at once, running another pass on the day, and keeping a record of what moved.
What the tool does within one tenant
- One sign-in: tick “Same as source” and the target reuses the source address, application and account.
- Accounts unchanged: the identity table is only used to reassign some authors or permissions.
- Taxonomy: the global term store is shared and terms keep their GUIDs; site collection term groups are migrated.
- Structure: the destination library receives the columns and content types it is missing.
- Folder to folder: each source folder to any target folder, with or without recreating the original folder.
Examples
| Need | Pairs to describe |
|---|---|
| Merge the HR and Payroll sites | Two site pairs to the same target site |
| Split an oversized site | One folder pair per library or folder, to different sites |
| Lift classic subsites | Each subsite to a new, existing modern site |
| Archive finished projects | Closed project folders to a read-only archive site |
Before running, the tool refuses to continue if both connections end up in the same tenant while you described two tenants: a wrong account never turns into a copy in the wrong place.

Test it on your own tenant
The 14-day trial migrates 10% of every library, with versions, metadata and permissions. After you subscribe, an incremental run migrates the rest.
