On-Premises SharePoint to SharePoint Online Migration Issue using SPMT

Question

Hello everyone I am currently experiencing an issue while migrating from on-premises SharePoint to SharePoint Online. The problem is that files and folders are not appearing as expected. Additionally my site is not showing up on the active site. However I can see the site type with the correct URL and only then can I access all the site content. Thank you for your assistance.

Issue 1: Files and Folders Not Appearing as Expected This issue could be due to several reasons12: Permissions : Confirm that you have the necessary permissions to access the files and folders in both the source and target sites1. URL Format : Ensure that the URL you entered is correct and follows the proper format1. Source Folder : Confirm that the path you entered is correct and that the user of the SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) has read access to the folder1. Active Directory Synchronization : If you’re migrating file permissions there must be a corresponding user in SharePoint Online (SPO). The easiest way to accomplish this is to synchronize your Active Directory accounts to Microsoft Entra ID2. Issue 2: Site Not Showing Up on the Active Site This issue could be due to the following reasons345: Site Visibility : It may take some time for the site to appear on the SharePoint home page3. Try following the site and then wait some time to see the result3. Site Creation : Confirm that you have permissions to create the site and that the URL is valid1. Dashboard View : You might need to switch “All sites” to “Classic sites” to see the site5. SharePoint Admin Center : If you are the SharePoint admin or global admin you could go to the SharePoint admin center to check the site4. Thanks
