    Hi @Harshanand Wankhede ,

    Thank you for the post.

    When your migration is in the same site collection, you could visit "http://yoursite/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx", you'll see a site manager, where you can do a move operation of all pages.

    Per my experience, when you migrate subsite to another site collection, a convince way to migrate a subsite, you could save the origin subsite as a site template first, and then create a subsite in destination site using this site template.
    If you cannot find Save site as template option in site settings page, you should enable the Custom Script feature in SharePoint admin center ->Settings -> classic settings page -> Custom script -> Allow...

    Hi @Renjie Sun-MSFT

    Thanks for providing answer. Very detailed and good explanation. We are migrating subsite from one site collection to another. Is there any better solution rather using "Save as Template"?
