Apply a site template option not visible in Sharepoint

From what I read, you can use existing templates for Sharepoint sites. I followed the steps here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/apply-and-customize-sharepoint-site-templates-39382463-0e...

According to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, feature https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=SharePoint&searchterms=70574 is generally available now in Oct. 2021 but the feature is not working for my sites. When I try to apply a template I get this error:

Unable to get templates. The requested operation is part of an experimental feature that is not supported in the current environment. A SharePoint admin can enable Microsoft-provided templated.

I cannot find a setting anywhere to enable this. Does this mean that the new feature is just not rolled out to my tenant yet, even though I am on the Targeted Release channel?

You can enable it via Powershel:

Set-SPOsite <Site Url> -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0

ThomasMichelsen Any idea why we have to use powershell to enable it? And why we have to enable a GA feature at all? Also, this cmdlet doesn't work for personal sites and I have users that want their own sites.

  Some festures are only manageble through Powershell. Regarding personal sites, this might be of use? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65791174/block-all-personal-sites-in-sharepoint-microsoft-cannot-help
