Requirement: Set Footer in SharePoint Online Communication Site using PnP PowerShell

Go to the PnP Provisioning Schema repository on GitHub and build your provisioning template. https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Provisioning-Schema, Here is mine:

Provisioning Template XML for Footer Links:

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<pnp:Provisioning xmlns:pnp="https://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2019/03/ProvisioningSchema">
 <pnp:Preferences/>
 <pnp:Templates ID="CONTAINER-TEMPLATE-c49f81cd-19d0-458d-a99d-1a616c252add">
  <pnp:ProvisioningTemplate ID="TEMPLATE-c49f81cd-19d0-458d-a99d-1a616c252add" Version ="1">
  <pnp:Footer Enabled="true" Name="" Logo="SiteAssets/logo.png" RemoveExistingNodes="true">
    <pnp:FooterLinks>
      <pnp:FooterLink DisplayName="Contact Us" Url="https://www.crescent.com/contact-us" />
      <pnp:FooterLink DisplayName="Site Map" Url="https://www.crescent.com/sitemap" />
      <pnp:FooterLink DisplayName="Privacy Policy" Url="https://www.crescent.com/privacy-policy" />
     </pnp:FooterLinks>
  </pnp:Footer>
  </pnp:ProvisioningTemplate>
  </pnp:Templates>
</pnp:Provisioning>

Make necessary changes and save this as an XML file. E.g., PnpFooter.xml

PowerShell to Apply Provisioning Template

Once the template is ready, apply the template to the site using the below PnP PowerShell script.

#Config Variables
$SiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/hr"
$TemplateXML  ="C:\Users\salaudeen\Desktop\PnpFooter.xml"
 
#Connect to PnP Online
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Interactive

#Apply provisioning Template
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -path $TemplateXML
