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.

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.
