Change a Modern SharePoint subsite to its own site
I have a modern SharePoint site that I am using as a 'template'.
What I am actually doing is copying the content from the parent site to a subsite.
What I end up with is a URL looking like this: https://admin.sharepoint.com/sites/MyTemplateSite/CreatedSubSite
I want to know if I can take the subsite and make it independent of the parent site:
https://admin.sharepoint.com/sites/CreatedSubSite
From my research I see that I can change the URL of the subsite, but not make a subsite independent of the parent site.
I am happy to use PowerShell to facilitate this change.
Any help appreciated.

- Hi!
You can't move it straight over but you can use PnP provsinioning to get a template of the site, and then you can apply it to a new site.

Content must be moved manually thou 🙂
Hello CheWeigand
the only thing that i can find is this article about "Promote subsite into site"

- CheWeigandIron ContributorHi David,
Didn't want to purchase a app to do something that should be possible in PowerShell. Thanks for your reply.
