SharePoint Online: Copy Site Pages from One Site to Another using PowerShell
Requirement: Copy site pages to another site in SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Online: How to Copy a Page to Another Site Collection?
We wanted to copy a modern page from one site to another site in SharePoint Online. The “Copy to” option doesn’t support copying site pages from one site to another.
Luckily we’ve PnP PowerShell available to copy a modern page to another site:
#Parameters
$SourceSiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"
$DestinationSiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/branding"
$PageName = "About.aspx"
#Connect to Source Site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SourceSiteURL -Interactive
#Export the Source page
$TempFile = [System.IO.Path]::GetTempFileName()
Export-PnPPage -Force -Identity $PageName -Out $TempFile
#Import the page to the destination site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $DestinationSiteURL -Interactive
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path $TempFile
This PowerShell script export-imports a given page along with all its web parts, contents, etc. How about copying all pages from one site to another?
PowerShell to Copy All Site Pages to Another Site in SharePoint Online
To copy all pages to another site collection, use this PowerShell script.
#Parameters
$SourceSiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"
$DestinationSiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/branding"
#Connect to the Source Site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SourceSiteURL -Interactive
#Export all pages from the source
$TempFile = [System.IO.Path]::GetTempFileName()
Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out $TempFile -Handlers PageContents -IncludeAllClientSidePages -Force
#Import the page to the destination site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $DestinationSiteURL -Interactive
Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path $TempFile
This will backup all pages in the “Site Pages” library to an XML file with all the artifacts from pages and import them to the given destination site. We can use this method to backup-restore site pages within the same tenant or between different tenants in SharePoint Online.
WARNING: Please use ‘Export-PnPPage’. The alias ‘Export-PnPPage’ will be removed in the 1.5.0 release
Updated!
script work great. However, can you include all the version history?
Hi there,
sorry to say but this page needs to be updated.
Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate is not existing anymore in PnP.Powershell
Kind regards,
Dave
Yes! If you have upgraded to New PnP PowerShell module, PnP.PowerShell, Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate cmdlet is replaced with “Get-PnPSiteTemplate” and “Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate” is replaced with “Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate”.
These are great, thanks for putting in the time to share!
Hi,
thanks for your work.
Is it posible that I export sides by the last modification date?
E.g.: I would like to export all sides modified in the time between 21.12. – 27.12.
best regards
