Before your organization begins using AvePoint Cloud Governance, you may already have existing Microsoft 365 objects—such as Microsoft 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint site collections and sites. To bring these existing resources under governance, you can import them into AvePoint Cloud Governance and apply the appropriate policies to manage them going forward.
The table below outlines the object types that can be imported and the import methods supported for each:
| Object Type | Manual Import | Automatic Import |
