Moving posts from one channel/Team to another?

Having rushed into setting things up on Teams due to COVID-19, we now find that we would like to rearrange our teams and use channels more.  Is there an easy way to move content (posts and files) from one team to another, please?

Many thanks

Carol

    You can set channels to "only allow admins to post", not ideal but helps.

    PLEASE fix this!

    The first channel in a team is General We use it to discuss for the work we do.

    We have a second for office discussions and call it Internal

    But because we aren't allowed to change the name "General", people put things in the wrong channel.

    This is problem your system is creating - and won't let us fix.

    I'm currently setting up Shared Channels to mirror the old existing channels in a Team. The old channels have lots of posts in them and I would really like to be able to move them to a new shared channel so end users still have access to the old conversations. Is this something that will be available? If any one knows if i've missed something in the replies then please let me know, but so far it doesn't look like it's available and it's been requested over a few years now.

    Hi,

    What's the current status on moving complete channels to different Teams please ?

    I understood that it can be done with administrator rights only, which is again not much help as most people (like me) don't have these rights.

    Moving a post works indeed, but do you really need to edit every single post ? I need to move long conversations, how do I handle this ?

    Looking forward to your replies.

    Thanks already very much for your guidance.

    Unbelievable that this is still the problem. I look at our Teams channels every day and just shake my head. Nobody uses them it’s such a mess.
