Replace in SharePoint

Across live sites and libraries

Sign in, pick the sites, libraries and folders to search, then say what to find and what to replace it with in document content. The preview lists every change first. Each write is verified, and nothing is permanently deleted.

  • A report-only scan lists every occurrence without changing anything
  • Every Preview and Apply is kept in History with a CSV report
Replace in SharePoint: the rules table, where to look and password-protected file handling
Set the rules and where to look. The preview lists every change before anything is written.

Find password-protected files

Locked Office files

Scan sites, libraries and folders for password-protected Office files. Download a worksheet, type in each password, then bring it back into a Find and Replace run so those files can be unlocked and processed too.

More tools

The rest of ShareMaster

Migration Tools

Move content into SharePoint: clone between sites and tenants, run a fast Move or Copy inside one tenant, upload from this computer or download to it, and bring Dropbox across.

9 tools

Recycling Bin

Browse, search, restore and purge SharePoint and OneDrive recycle bins, first and second stage, with a record of everything recovered or deleted.

3 tools

Archive

Move files nobody opens out of SharePoint into Azure storage you own, and leave a placeholder in the library that still opens.

5 tools

Optimise Storage Tools

Get storage back: clear lists and libraries in bulk, remove empty folders and duplicate files, shrink oversized images, and recycle whole sites. Every tool previews first and recycles by default.

6 tools

SharePoint Tools

Work with SharePoint directly: browse sites, lists and files, change the settings people usually need PowerShell for, manage list views and versioning, and search the Preservation Hold Library.

6 tools

Shared Links

Find every sharing link and every item with unique permissions across the sites you choose. Export it to Excel, or revoke links and reset permissions in bulk.

5 tools

Version History

Trim version history to win back storage, report what trimming would save before you commit, and reset a file's versions to a chosen point.

3 tools

Reports

Read-only Excel reports for planning a migration, finding where storage has gone and auditing who can see what. Nothing in this menu changes SharePoint, and every report is kept in History.
