Classic SharePoint Pages Assessment

Modern SharePoint pages are the recommended, supported way to build pages in SharePoint Online. Many tenants still contain classic pages — wiki pages, web part pages and publishing pages — that predate the modern page experience. The classic pages assessment helps you understand where classic pages live in your tenant and how ready those pages are to be modernized: for each classic page it inventories the web parts on the page and calculates a mapping percentage that indicates how many of those web parts have a modern equivalent.

This module carries the classic page scanning capability of the older SharePoint Modernization Scanner forward into the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool, so you can use a single, supported tool for this assessment.

The assessment provides you with:

• A per-page inventory of the classic pages found (page type, layout, home-page flags, last modified, usage) — see classicpages.csv.
• A per-web-part inventory of every web part found on those pages — see classicpagewebparts.csv.
• A tenant-wide inventory of the unique web part types encountered and whether each is known to the modern mapping model — see classicwebpartunique.csv.
• Web- and site-level readiness roll-ups and a Power BI report to visualize the results.

Important

The classic pages assessment is pre-release: it is implemented, tested and runnable from a development build via start --mode Classic --classicinclude Pages, but is not yet part of a shipped release. Within a Classic assessment only the implemented components run (Pages, Lists, Workflow, InfoPath, Extensibility) — the Azure ACS and SharePoint Add-Ins assessments are provided by the dedicated --mode AddInsACS module. Track availability via the releases page.
