Afternoon

I'm soon to begin migrating a onprem 2013 SharePoint site to online using the SharePoint migration tools. Looking for some general advice, dos and don'ts and any advice on migrating permissions.

Any advice welcome

Answer 1

As you are migrating from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint online. First have a look at the official tool SharePoint Migration Tool, The SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) can migrate your files from SharePoint on-premises document libraries, lists or regular files shares. Here is an overall documentation about it. Have a check on it and relevant articles.

Before migration, use the SharePoint Assessment Tool to assess and identify issues with SharePoint Server content prior to migration. To download: SharePoint Migration Assessment Tool Ideal for assessing SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 content prior to migration.

For permissions, here is some information if using SPMT:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/understanding-permissions-when-migrating

Here is a blog about an actual migration example which may be helpful, https://andrewwarland.wordpress.com/2018/08/25/migrating-to-sharepoint-online-part-1-planning/
