Description

The SharePoint Essentials Toolkit is a product of Cognillo. According to the product page, it is aimed at SharePoint site owners and Microsoft 365 administrators and offers reports, permission management, content tools and automation for audits, troubleshooting and routine tasks. The page names SharePoint Online and also lists support for SharePoint on-premises versions in its feature table.

Functions named on the product page: permission reports for sites, folders and items; showing everything one person can access; replacing one user with another; fixing permissions and sharing links from reports. Broken links: a link inventory, a monitor for broken links, checks of links in Office documents and modern pages, and scans of pages, web parts and navigation. Content: search in pages and web parts, find and replace text, copying lists and bulk actions from reports. Oversharing and Copilot readiness: a report on sharing links, sites and content open to everyone, heavily shared files that are not labelled and outdated content with open access. Governance: monitors, a dashboard, a monitor for permission changes, e-mail notifications and a monitor for storage growth. Migration from SharePoint to SharePoint: the page states 2 to 3 GB per hour and says that item IDs, version history and metadata are kept, with verification reports after the migration. Metadata reports list items, files, folders and pages with sizes and version counts. Reports and tasks can be scheduled and exported to SharePoint, by e-mail, or to Excel or CSV.
