Hi chiragshukla20,
I am currently in a similar situation where we are about to merge two existing communities into one.
I am wondering how you went about preserving the content from community A. Did you keep anything? Or just accepted by importing users to community B and deleting community A, all posts from community A would be deleted as well?
If anyone knows anything about archiving content from Viva Engage communities (even if just to store in a separate folder somewhere) - would be highly appreciated!
- Login to portal.Azure.com.
- Select Entra ID >> All groups >> find Group “A” >> select the group
- Navigate to “members” in the left pane.
- Click on “bulk operations” >> Download members.
- The members list with object IDs and UPN will be downloaded.
- Save it.
- Navigate to Entra ID and find Group “B” >> select the group.
- Click on “bulk operations” >> Import members
- Download CSV template which gives you a format to enter the details of the members i.e. with object ID/UPN.
- Copy and paste the details of the members in appropriate format in the file and upload the file in the group.
- You can also find the duplicate members in the list; however, it will give a “bad request” message, and you can remove those members from the list.
- Refresh the page and you can see expected members in Group “b”.
