Saving a sharepoint site as a template
I am trying to save a SharePoint site page as a template for my organization to use for repeat sites. However I have followed numerous guides on how to do this and the option to save my site as a template is not showing. Can anyone please provide me with assistance on how to fix this.

- Save as template feature has been deprecated by Microsoft and you should avoid to use. What I recommend you instead is to take a look at Site Designs and also at PnP Templates:
- Site Designs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-overview?WT.mc_id=M365-MVP-4015732
- PnP Provisioning: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/introducing-the-pnp-provisioning-engine?WT.mc_id=M365-MVP-4015732PnP is a pretty good tool, there are a few things that it does not support but it's much cleaner than the the old template files.
