No full width column option in subsite?

I've created a subsite for my communications night, and I need to create a full width column to house my hero content? Is there any reason why this is not available to me? Thanks

Thanks, I just created the subsite through the UI as the main site is a Communication site - can I just add a Communication site as a subsite using these commands?

Hi Lee-Martin,

yes, you need to connect to the main site using PNP Powerhshell and then execute the upper commands to create a communication subsite.

Best Regards,

Sven

SvenSieverding is there a command to do this via SharePoint PowerShell?

  Hi Lee-Martin ,
  
  Yes
  1) Install PnPPowershell (https://pnp.github.io/powershell/) (As local administrator)
  Install-Module -Name PnP.PowerShell
  2) Connect to your main site
  Connect-PnPOnline "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite" -Interactive
  3) Create the subsite
  New-PnPWeb -Title "My Communication Subsite" -Url "MyCommunicationSubsite" -Locale 1033 -Template "SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0"
  
  If you don't want to use PnPPowershell, but pure CSOM Powershell instead, then take a look at this article
  https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2016/05/sharepoint-online-powershell-to-create-subsite.html
  and the section "SharePoint Online: PowerShell to Create Subsite"
  
  Best Regards,

    I'm having access issues with PnP, but I've got SharePoint Powershell working - I've already got the URL you've shared with me.
    
    However the PnP example you've shared seems a lot more simple than both the PnP and SharePoint Powershell examples here?
