ReplaceMagic connects natively to SharePoint Online and on-premises via the SharePoint API — no drive mapping required. This means faster processing, full metadata preservation and automatic check-in/check-out management, all from a single interface.

To make story short - ReplaceMagic supports native integration with SharePoint. This means that through ReplaceMagic you will authenticate yourself on SharePoint and your sites, document libraries and folders will be visible.



By navigation through SharePoint treeview you can select location where your documents are and ReplaceMagic will process them like (scanning and later replacements).

Main advantage of this approach is that ReplaceMagic can keep document properties like last accessed date/time and editor which are overwritten everytime when document is accessed/modified. With this functionality when you use ReplaceMagic for your end-users nothing will change as document properties will stay the same like beofre. In case that you have some custom views they will still be the same (sort order of documents in SharePoint) like they were before ReplaceMagic processing.

Beside that ReplaceMagic will keep document properties our tool can also do:

• Check-out / Check-in of SharePoint documents
• Forced check-in of documents - useful in case that end-users forgot to check-in documents
• Show more than 5000 documents in SharePoint Document library

When to use ReplaceMagic:

• You did migration to SharePoint and there are broken links
• There was SharePoint tenant migration having broken links in documents
• SharePoint on-prem to SharePoint Online migration

What Native Integration Enables

• Scanning documents directly on SharePoint without downloading them to a local drive
• Preserving last-modified date and modified-by author after making changes (requires Site Admin rights)
• Automatic document check-in/check-out management during processing
• Forced check-in for documents locked by other users
• Processing SharePoint Canvas pages and Wiki pages (ASPX content)
• Handling SharePoint lists, Quick Launch and Top Navigation bar URL replacements
