Cloning/duplicating sharePoint site

Hi there,

We have a SharePoint intranet site (using the modern communication template), there is talk of the site needing a redesign/changing on menu etc. Is there a way of cloning/creating a duplicate copy of the entire site, so the users can make/experiment with making changes/redesign etc and not affecting the main/actual site? There is no option for save template for modern communication template.
Thanks in advance

    I have been using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/introducing-the-pnp-provisioning-engine which allows us to "clone" sites. Its very powerful but requires some skills in PowerShell etc. However there are plenty of guides out there.
