I have recently been creating a new out of the box solution in SharePoint 2013 On-Prem making use of a large collection of pages. I’m very happy with the design, and they have been set up to need minimal customization after initial creation; however, the process of copying my template page to its final location
I recently came upon a situation where I had designed a beautiful new intranet page for one of our support functions. You know – typical stuff…a nice clean display presenting documents on a page instead of directly in a document library.

I was recently working on some simple site collection migrations from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 on-premises using Metalogix’s Content Matrix. It’s a very simple move and I wasn’t carrying over any branding or themes from my 2007 site. I did, however, need to apply a new theme (just colors, fonts, & style sheet) to my
