How to use the Periodic Table of
SharePoint Migrations
The Periodic Table of SharePoint Migrations has been organized
by element (SharePoint object or property) and element group
(SharePoint file type), which are grouped by color.
The table is organized by the order of importance from which
the SharePoint environment should migrated, with the hierarchy
descending top to bottom and left to right. In addition, the
atomic number (the number above the abbreviated term)
further indicates significance, with the higher number denoting
priority over the lower number.
To put theory into practice, SharePoint admins should migrate
their environment by starting from “Web applications” at the
top left corner and moving down the column to “Pages,”
before shifting over to the next row and repeating.
