Configure SharePoint Versioning for Document Migration

Download ReplaceMagic Videos: How to use ReplaceMagic

Libraries with major and minor versions decide which version end users see. A bulk link repair saves a new version of every changed document, so without the right settings a published document could be replaced by a draft minor version. ReplaceMagic can keep the published state and record each change properly in the version history.

Keep Published Status

Maintains the major/minor version visibility of each document. A document that was published as a major version before processing will remain published after ReplaceMagic completes its work.

Set Versioning

Controls how ReplaceMagic interacts with the SharePoint versioning system when checking documents back in. Enable to ensure that each processed document is properly tracked in the version history.

Check-out / Check-in Documents

ReplaceMagic automatically checks out a document before downloading it and checks it back in after uploading the modified version. This ensures that other users cannot modify the file during processing and that SharePoint registers the change as a proper new version.

Configuration Location

Open the Configuration button on the main ReplaceMagic form, then navigate to the SharePoint tab. Enable Keep Published Status and Set Versioning before running replacements against a library that uses major and minor versions.
