Unable to Save Site as Site Template: Unable to convert the HeaderColorIndexInLightMode XML
Hi,
It doesn't tell in your case so checking, are your site pages classic- or modern sites?
If Modern, then save site as template is not supported as outlined https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/save-download-and-upload-a-sharepoint-site-as-a-template. You should then be using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-overview or possibly PnP Site Provisioning.
The site itself was imported from a site template. I had to update some site pages on it and exported it already once (first backup). When I had to modify again and re-exported the latest version (for second backup), saving it as a site template suddenly stopped working last 14th or 15th of March. Assuming that I was already able to export and download the first backup, then it should be a classic site since it supports save site as template?
I'm using SharePoint online. I believe this would be modern sites? I think my confusion comes from I see people doing this online.
With the was you suggest is there a way to get an exact copy, web parts and document library template and all for what I need to make the template? I'm trying to turn it into an organization template.Ours are classic sites in Microsoft Project Online (MSPO/PWA) instances.
