What is the best way to migrate a subsite to its own site collection along with all document libraries and permissions if possible.

    There are a couple of options here, admittedly I haven't done this in a long time. The simplest method would be to manually migrate the contents of the subsite to a new site collection; optionally, you can export your subsite by using the Export-SPWeb command, create a new site collection, and then import your Content Migration Package (.cmp) file that you exported using Import-SPWeb.

      That's what I was afraid of. I have a list of about a dozen sites that are currently subsites that need to be moved with as little disruption as possible. Looks like a job that'll have to be done manually on a weekend. I was really hoping for a magical super easy "promote subsite to site collection" button. Oh well. I was actually planning on using: Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Configuration $configPath -out $filepath Any insight on what the difference would be between that and Export-SPweb?
