I was working with the migration of Jive content over Microsoft 365 for a couple of years. Based on my experience, I saw each company adopt jive as per their requirement and every migration is unique. When we are migrating the content to Microsoft 365 objects, we keep 2 things in mind, first one is trying to understand the usage of Jive and second how best we can map them in Microsoft 365 objects.

In my last migration project, we used modern SharePoint pages for migrating 2 major content types from Jive. Modern site page has come with at-least 5 new features, like

1. Modern Experience and SharePoint Framework

Modern page has come up with modern experience where all the OOTB webparts are client side. Create new custom SPfx webparts using of SharePoint framework means all the web parts are executed on the client-side performance is much better comparing the classic page.

  1. Hi ,

    I see SharePoint Modern Page comments having bold text mentioning about original author and Creation Date.

    Is it possible to have rich text in page comments as i dont see SharePoint Modern Supports that.
