Corbenik you can also copy pages, including any images on them, to a different site using a simple flow in Power Automate:

Welcome to the forums. There is a difference between the site owners group and site collection administration. Do you know which one you are?
And can you also provide some information on how you've attempted to copy the files thus far please? I'm guessing you're trying Explorer View in Classic as Copy / move functionality, the last I checked didn't work through the modern interface for site pages.
Steven Andrews I'm the site collection admin. I switched to the classic view as I heard (and saw) that there was no way to do this with the modern interface
On clicking that copy command I get taken to the copy prompt and after filling in the necessary details like the destination URL and clicking ok :
It would ask me to request permission, and even if go through with that and then grant myself permission (which is strange as I'm already the site collection admin for both source and destination sites), when I try to copy again it says I need permission again.

The limitation here is that it's the Site Pages. The solution I was going to propose is the one that Rob has provided below. Are you familiar with Power Automate?
- CorbenikJul 19, 2021Brass ContributorNot exactly, I've used basic level stuff for notifications. I wasn't aware it could be used for this purpose too

Microsoft Power Automate Community Super User- gcriddle1Aug 16, 2024Copper ContributorI am struggling with the identifier dynamic variable here. If you use the list ID it tries to map a filepath to the id which of course doesn't work. ChatGPT told me to use get file metadata instead of get file properties but it is still giving me an error. Can anyone please help??

Hi all,
I found out that the original solution of RobElliott still works, if you use the Library ID instead of the name.
You can read how to find the ID here:
https://tomriha.com/how-to-get-sharepoint-document-library-id/
Then you can still use a button to migrate a page.
I you use solutions, you have to use different values for actionParams in the column formatting, see here:
Hope this helps.
- Gladys AguileraJul 31, 2023Copper ContributorCan I copy an specific page from a Site to another? or have to be all of them like it shows
- liz360Aug 09, 2023Copper ContributorIt copies all of them. So as a workaround, I copy the pages to a folder I create first in the destination site. Then copy or move the page you want and delete the rest in the folder.
(FYI: I used reddimension's solution)
