I understand that the output of Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate is based on a delta between the site you are pointing it at and a default "plain-vanilla" site, but when I try to create a new XML template...

Joseph Ackerman maybe try to specify the content type groups that you want to export?

Hope this helps

Joel Rodrigues, thanks, I did look at that but it still gives me the entire group when perhaps I only changed one content type in the group...

Also, this does nothing for anything other than content types. I still get a bunch of fields, etc...

By Default the latest versions only export what you added or changed.

  Only when the base site template type is STS#0 (classic team site). When I go against a new ("modern") communication site, I get the delta between one of those and a classic team site. What I want is to get the delta between an unaltered communication site and a communication site where I have made changes. In order to do that, I need the PnP PowerShell cmdlet to know what base site template to compare against.
