Copy page/news template between sites using powershell

Hi. I'd like to be able to create a page/news template on site A, and copy it over site B. I found a way to copy files over from site A to site B by running something like Get-PnPFile to download...

Hi,

You need to have at least one template created before copied files are visible on Templates gallery. I noticed this when copying templates over with Power Automate.

I have been using PnP Provisioning Template to copy page templates between sites. If you are interested, you can check out my blog post about this topic.

Idea is first get all client side pages to a provisioning template, create a new template object with just page templates and apply it to a target site.
