Site templates

Question

Hi,&nbsp;&nbsp;I understand that Site Designs are now the new way of doing site templates. I haven't played around with it yet, just reading some articles. My question is which I can't seem to find the answer for is: Can you use Site Designs to change a web part on the page, or push new webparts?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you

Please, review JSON schema to understand what is possible today with Site Designs &amp; Site Scripts: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-json-schema For your scenario, PnP templates are more suitable

jcgonzalezmartin&nbsp;I don't see anything that talks about updating web parts. I'm assuming this doesn't exist, at least not yet.

Yep, so you have to go to PnP templates

jcgonzalezmartin&nbsp;JSlei&nbsp; Yup you will need to offload this work somewhere else (PnP Templates is the easiest).Just a quick note on the JSON Schema as well... be careful about looking at the schema, as there are some actions in there that aren't supported yet.
