Save Modern Team Site as a template & provision using Classic Team Site method (visible in SP Admin)
MicrosoftJust to be clear. Using save-site-as-a-template with modern team sites or publishing sites is NOT supported. You can always find aways with tenant admin permissions to achieve things, but the fact that it's doable does not mean it's supported.
Any sites created with the template which has been produced with this method can have unexpected issues in the future, so provided steps should never be used.

What is the correct, support way to create Site templates? I have many sites (all the same layout) that will need building very soon. As it stands I will have to create every single site by hand? Very inefficient. To read that 'Save as Template' was once a thing but now unavailable and unsupported sounds crazy to me. Especially when a lot of emphasis is being put on Power Automate, and business automation.
