Audit Report General Information

When you run an Audit Report, the following will occur:

Sharegate creates a document library

Sharegate will create a document library in your site collection so that it can store the audit files generated by SharePoint.

After being analyzed by Sharegate, the files are deleted and this library will be empty so it doesn't affect your environment.

Note for SharePoint 2010 environments: Sharegate will need to activate the built-in Reporting feature of SharePoint so that it can generate audit files. This feature does not need to be activated in the other versions of SharePoint in order for Sharegate to generate an audit report.

Select Targets

From this screen, you can select the target location or item of the Audit Report.

Select one or multiple targets, and click Next.

You will now see the Audit Report page.
