Hi, I wanted to explore the logs of Content and Structure while copying files between sites and this below link provided what I am looking for, SharePoint Important Urls(Hidden links)

Move/migrate SP2010 site/list to SharePoint 2013/SP2016

Today I had a scenario to migrate just a site from SP2010 to SP2016. For this there are 2 ways, which I know, 1. Use any 3rd party tools like ShareGate, etc., 2. Use DB backup and restore into SP2013 and mount-database and test-spcontendatabase and now your SP2013 site is ready. Repeat the same for SP2013 to SP2016. All this steps are done in Dev environment and as last step, particular site will be exported from SP2016 dev environment and imported to SP2016 production environment. But I found some blog which shows 3 steps especially for lists,    https://absolute-sharepoint.com/2013/08/how-to-move-a-list-from-sharepoint-2010-to-sharepoint-2013.html  Go through the link and take advantage of it, if there is a need for list migration.

Microsoft office files dont open in Google chrome and throws site could not be reached error

Alright, Today I experienced an issue - none of the microsoft office file and pdf files stopped opening in Google Chrome.  Cause: Google latest version release on 7/28/2018 with version 68 is the culprit here. Analysis: Checked by installing certificates in local machine IE - Internet Options - Content -Certificates - Other People and import the certificate here. By installing certificate in IE, will reflected in chrome. But this didn't solve the problem. Solution: In registry, Chrome certificate transparency need to be disabled. It is done by:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\CertificateTransparencyEnforcementDisabledForUrls - Here create String value as "1" and <<example.com>>   After doing this, all files started to work. Now to make it work for all users, create Group Policy in Active Domain Directory Services.  Ref:   https://fpki.idmanagement.gov/announcements/chromect/

SharePoint 2013 webapplication creation erorr: page cannot be displayed dialog box

Sometime, while trying to create webapplication in SP2013, you will see "Page cannot be displayed" dialog box error. To resolve this follow the below steps,  Inetmgr - Application Pools - Select CA app pool - Advanced settings - Process Model - Increase the Shutdown time limit to 200. Default is 90. Issue happens because during webapplication creation process, IIS shutdown in 90 seconds. Sometimes when new webapplication is created, this time is not enough and IIS shutsdown and you see the "Page cannot be displayed" error

SharePoint 2010 to 2016 Migration - Feature reference missing issue

I was in a situation to migrate SP2010 site to SP2016 manually without any tool. I have followed the typical steps of,  - Create webapplication in SP2013 - Delete default DB and test the webapplication with the DB - Now you will get reference errors and missing features error  - But if you try to delete them, you cannot. - SO GO AHEAD AND MOUNT THE DATABASE AND NOW YOU CAN DELETE THE MISSING REFERENCES Have learnt this later. Initially spent some time to delete the missing feature before mounting the db. Repeat the same step from SP2013 to SP2016.

SharePoint - Add Blank value to Choice field

Today, I had a scenario to add blank value to the existing choice field in a SharePoint list. I could do it as below,  Hold down the "Alt" key on the NUMERIC KEYPAD and type '0129'. This would create blank space and it holds got, both during creating new item and while editing the item.
