Save list as a template

Good Day:

I was looking into saving a few lists off a Communication Site as a template and noticed first that the link/option to save a list or a document library as a template was missing as choice from the site pages library.  I noticed the same on a Modern Site.  However it seems that we can save as a list template other lists like a generic list or a document library.

Is it an expected behavior that we are not able in saving a pages library as template and are there other lists types on a Communication Site that we cannot save as a template?  Thanks!

  • This is expected...basically Microsoft has hidden the option to save a list as a template in modern SPO. If you need to replicate a list on other sites and don't want to recreate it, I recommend you to take a look to PnP remote provisioning or to Site scripts and Site Designs
