How to create a template from a modern Sharepoint online communication site
Hi
I thought I saw recently something indicating that Microsoft were going to make it easier to create your own tepmplate for a modern comms SharePoint online site. Did I imagine that? Was it wishful thinking or can someone point me to the article?
Alternatively if someone knows how to do it without using powershell / sharepoint shell or jason files (or has a code guide that is more of an idiots guide to building blocks - just stick these bits together indicating where the colours can be changed) that would be truely awsome.
Sharepoint sites got easier to make with drag the web parts about , but making a template has gone off the charts for me. Save as was good for me - I don't expect it to be that simple ever again but am I missing something, it can't be coders only, surely?
Looking forward to your ideas of how to do it.
Thank you
H

There isn’t a true no-code “save site as template” for modern SharePoint yet. The closest options are page templates and reusable layouts, while full site templates require site scripts or admin setup.
Microsoft provides Site Templates (formerly Site Designs), which can be applied when creating or updating a site - SharePoint site template and site script overview | Microsoft Learn
You can also use Page Templates, which allow you to reuse page layouts and web part structures within a site.
