Sitenalyzer

Description

Sitenalyzer is an open-source SharePoint Online inventory and data-dictionary tool built as a single HTML and JavaScript file. It catalogs lists, document libraries, columns, descriptions, internal IDs, and permissions, and can export the resulting SharePoint data dictionary to a spreadsheet.

Embed Sitenalyzer with the Modern Script Editor web part to document site structure, review permissions, edit list or column descriptions when authorized, and collect identifiers needed for Microsoft Graph and Microsoft Entra applications. It is designed for SharePoint administrators, developers, data stewards, and research operations teams.

Quick Start Guide

  • First ensure you have the "Modern Script Editor" app installed. If not available, contact your site administrator to install it
  • Go to your site's home page and create a new page using the Modern Script Editor template. Use "Sitenalyzer" for the page title.
  • In the "Modern Script Editor" webpart, click "Markup" then click the "{ }" button to open the code editor.
  • Copy and the paste the code from Sitenalyzer.html into the script editor.
    • Note: If your SharePoint tenant has CSP restrictions that block inline JavaScript, you may need to separate the contents of the JavaScript file into its own .js file and store it in your site's Site Assets library. Then, update the script tag near the bottom of the file to point to htttp://you-tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/your-site/SiteAssets/Sitenalyzer.js.
  • Save, and refresh the page.
