    Hi,

     

    it seems the pages are not in the current directory. My pnp:files look like this

    <pnp:File src="SiteAssets\Logo.png" Folder="SiteAssets" Overwrite="true" />

    where src could be C:\temp\sitesassets\logo.png

    so whitout properties

     

    but also do you need to provision the masterpages? If they are already in there why would you like to upload your version?

     

    hope it helps.

Deleted I checked it is loaded when I tried to apply it from debug mode. It applies list instances and when it tries to apply Files (default.aspx) it fails

      Hi,

       

      looked at your template and what i would do narrow it down meaning remove parts of the xml like what happeens if all is commented out except time... etc..

       

      furthermore i see this line:

      <pnp:Property Key="PublishingPageLayout" Value="{sitecollection}/_catalogs/masterpage/wizdom2Column.aspx, https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/rayhan{sitecollection}/_catalogs/masterpage/wizdom2Column.aspx" />

      Wher you use a url and a sitecolleciton token in 1 url...

        Thanks for your reply, my template works if I remove the whole Files section from the xml. But if I need to provision the files what should I do? Can you please let me know?

        Thanks for your help
