Get the default page layout for an Enterprise Wiki?

Hi Is there a way to use CSOM (Powershell or C#) to get the default page layout for an Enterprise Wiki site collection? Thanks.

SharePoint Folder object has WelcomePage property.

E.g., for a web: `oWeb.RootFolder.WelcomePage`.

Page layout is not the same. For publishing web a default layout can be:

- Gotten by retrieving DefaultPageLayout property

- Redefined by SetDefaultPageLayout method

Also, you can get a list of available page layouts:

- GetAvailablePageLayouts

PublishingWeb pubWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(oWeb);
PageLayout pageLayout = pubWeb.DefaultPageLayout;
Console.WriteLine("Title: " + pageLayout.Name + ", Url: " + pageLayout.ServerRelativeUrl);

Hope this was helpful.

Hi Andrew Koltyakov

Thanks for your reply, it helped me!

Here is my Powershell code using PnP:

Clear-Host

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/wiki -Credentials (Get-Credential)

$context = Get-PnPContext

$allProperties = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $context.Web -Property AllProperties

$defaultLayoutPage = $allProperties['__DefaultPageLayout']

$defaultLayoutPage
