I have a lot of classic announcement items in SharePoint on premise that I would like to migrate to modern news posts in SharePoint Online.

I have found descriptions of how to modernise classic pages automatically (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/transform/modernize-userinterface-site-pages-dotnet), but these announcement list items seem to be something else than classic pages. I also have other list item types that now need to become modern pages, like FAQ items.

Does anyone know about a way to migrate classic list items to modern pages automatically?

I have access to ShareGate, so I can use that tool to fix the metadata, such as dates, authors, promoted state etc later. Often it is possible to map to another content type in ShareGate, but unfortunately I have not found any way mapping of a list item to a modern page in ShareGate either.

There is no such method to migrate classic items to modern list using Microsoft migration tool, we could only migrate the announcement list to modern site.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/sharepoint-migration-supported-list-templates

For the ShareGate tool, I suggest you seek support in its official page.

  • OK, thanks, I was not even aware of a Microsoft migration tool... I was thinking more like a solution to grab the contents of a list item and add that content to a new modern page. So I will need some way to create a new modern page automatically, add a suitable web part to it where I can put the content of the list item. (I already have a lot of C# code to work with classic list items, so I am pretty sure I can get the source content). Once I have all the pages in place I would use ShareGate to correct the metadata.
