How to create a template from a modern Sharepoint online communication site
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.

Hi, I just read your post and I too want to query if there is an easier way. Yesterday all my site templates that I created 3 years ago will no long spin up. Users are getting this error if they wish to create a site from one of the custom site templates. The sites themselves are modern and I was able to save this as template 3 years ago but like the query above, PowerShell looks so complicated.
