Most tools move files. S2Stools moves the record —
the metadata trail your compliance team actually cares about.
Version history
Version chains on documents are replayed oldest-to-newest, each version carrying its original date and label.
File.Versions → replayed v1…vN
Authors & timestamps
Created/Modified and Created by/Modified by survive the move on every file, page and list item — not replaced by the migration account.
system fields stamped · no version bump
Item-level permissions
Broken-inheritance items keep their own grants; site groups and M365 group claims are remapped to the target.
principals mapped source → target
Attachments
List-item attachments travel with their items, added before the final metadata stamp so dates stay true.
AttachmentFiles copied per item
Navigation & notebook
Quick launch arrives without duplicate or dead links, and the site notebook is renamed for its new home.
system links stripped · notebook retitled
Managed metadata
Taxonomy columns, content types, and term groups are extracted together so nothing is silently dropped.
