Create a SharePoint site using the configuration of another site
This script uses PnP Powershell to extract the template of one SharePoint site and invoke it on another site
Lewis BaybuttSummary
This script uses PnP Powershell to extract the template of one SharePoint site and invoke it on another site. This lets you create sites with all the same lists and configuration as another SharePoint site. Perhaps you want to implement ALM practices around your SharePoint based development? This is a great way to get started!
$ExistingSiteUrl = "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yourexistingsite"
$SiteTemplateFile = "\Template.xml"
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $ExistingSiteUrl -PnPManagementShell
Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out $SiteTemplateFile
$TargetSiteUrl = "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yourtargetsite"
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $TargetSiteUrl -PnPManagementShell
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path $SiteTemplateFile
