Advice is required here for deploying from a sharepoint 2013 Online development envionrment to the following environments qa, integration and then production.
What is the best way to achieve?
The contents of the site collections :
- Subsites
- Lists(with content, custom content types)
- Customised pages layouts,
- Customised styling
- Customised pages
How can we deployment the whole site collection to a new qa site collection using a deployment tool. We have tried using metalogix and this is continually failing with limited assistance from the company. Microsoft are refusing to provide a backup and restore to another environment.
Therefore we are looking for advice on how to achieve this automated rather than manually creating the content.
As Sharepoint 2013 Online is in the cloud the ability to run powershell is limited and no access the databases. Therefore achieving this is proving to be a real challenge.
