Easiest way to copy modern site pages between site collections

Hello experts,

 

What is the easiest way to copy modern site pages (news pages) from one SharePoint Online site collection to another?

 

Do I need a migration tool like ShareGate or is it possible in any other way?

  • Are you familiar with PnP? PnP allows you to provision also pages so it's perfect for what you want

      I am hearing that when you migrate additional modern pages excluding the home page from one tenant to another they turn into classic pages some how. The home page stays modern only the additional pages change to classic after migration.

      Have you migrated more than one modern page from O365 group from one tenant to another and able to maintain the modern experience on all the migrated pages in the target? How?

        Hello,

         

        In my case i wanted to copy or move (news) pages from one site collection to another and it seems quite complicated. I never found a useful way to do it.

         

        Using PnP may be a solution, but that is not something i have ever worked with.

         

        I tired Sharegate using a trial license, but i got an error (permission related) even though i was owner of both sites.

         

        I recreated the posts instead of copying them, so right now everything is cool, but in the future this needs to be added. I mean, copy files or documents is very easy, so news posts should be easy as well.
