I have a sharepoint site created for one location which has folders and sub folders storing one locations documents. I want to create a similar site for 3 other locations. I am new to Sharepoint. How do i do this? Thanks for any help.

    Hello,

    You can achieve this either by copy-pasting all lists by hand, which is a tedious task.
    It might be easier to save lists as templates and migrating list configurations without the data.
    You can also leverage tha power of PNP Sharepoint (Patterns and Practices). PNP libraries provide ways to duplicate sites or copy contents of a site programmatically. You can read about it here : https://pnp.github.io/
    There you can examine a lot o sample code.

      Thanks. I have handed this over to the sharepoint team since I am not familiar with all the above. Do appreciate your reply.
