OPS / WORKSPACE
Ready to generate
Configure Export SharePoint document library versioning settings in the Builder, review the generated PowerShell and run it in your own environment.
When to use this template
Use this report when you need a quick governance or migration inventory of library versioning configuration. It reads list-level settings only, so it stays useful on large libraries without enumerating files or individual versions.
Important limitations
- Does not enumerate individual file versions.
- Does not evaluate the effective tenant/site automatic file-version expiration policy.
- Subsites are not discovered automatically; provide each site URL that should be scanned.
PowerShell and PnP requirements
Current PnP.PowerShell releases require PowerShell 7.4 or later. Interactive authentication requires your own Entra application/client ID, or a default client ID configured for PnP.PowerShell. Opselith does not connect to SharePoint or execute the script on your behalf.
Generate the script
- Open this template in the PowerShell Builder.
- Enter the required scope, authentication and output values.
- Generate the script, review its permissions and commands, then run it in your own PowerShell environment.
