SharePoint Online: Apply Theme using PnP Provisioning Template PowerShell
Requirement: Set Theme in SharePoint Online Site using PnP PowerShell Provisioning Template.
How to Change the Site Theme in SharePoint Online using PnP Provisioning Template?
In order to apply a theme to a SharePoint Online site using a PnP Provisioning Template and PowerShell, you will need to complete the following steps:
Step 1: Create a Provisioning Template Schema XML for the Theme
Go to the PnP Provisioning Schema repository in GitHub and build your provisioning template. https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Provisioning-Schema, You can also get the template from an existing site using the Get-PnPSiteTemplate cmdlet. Here is mine:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pnp:Provisioning xmlns:pnp="https://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2019/03/ProvisioningSchema">
<pnp:Preferences Generator="OfficeDevPnP.Core, Version=3.9.1905.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
<pnp:Templates ID="CONTAINER-TEMPLATE-a170b11a-d4d3-486f-b191-946ff2acaec3">
<pnp:ProvisioningTemplate ID="TEMPLATE-a170b11a-d4d3-486f-b191-946ff2acaec3" Version="1" BaseSiteTemplate="SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0" Scope="RootSite">
<pnp:Theme Name="Orange" IsInverted="false" />
</pnp:ProvisioningTemplate>
</pnp:Templates>
</pnp:Provisioning>
Make necessary changes and save this as an XML file. E.g., Pnp-Theme.xml
Step 2: 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/"
$TemplateXML ="C:\Users\salaudeen\Desktop\Pnp-Theme.xml"
#Connect to PnP Online
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Interactive
#Apply provisioning Template
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -path $TemplateXML
Here is the script in action
