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

Thank you for all these suggestions. I have tried just about all of them but cannot seem to get the contents of the Site Pages to carry over into the destination library. The file is copied, but when I open the page from the destination library, there is only the title and none of the content. I have tried the Power Automate solutions and the Copy solution within the ribbon in the Classic View. Any ideas?

NinaGelo See my earlier post. The original Power Automates are no longer valid, if you adapt your Power Automate to the Print Screen ive posted on June 6th you should be able to copy the pages and assets of you wish.

    Reddimension Thank you so much. I tried that one too and have the same problem. There is no content displayed on the page when it's moved to the destination library.

      NinaGelo Sadly not. I've used that exact method to move about 200 pages from one site to another. i Would advise to review your steps. Are you moving modern pages to modern pages. I'd assume if you're doing legecy to modern it wouldn't work at all tbh.

        I think I may have figured out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to move the Site Pages from Site A to a regular document library in Site B. But I think Site Pages can only exist in Site Page libraries. When they are moved to a regular Document Library, the .aspx file renders in the library, but the content of the page is missing. Is this true that Site Pages can only exist within a Site Page Library?
