Add the ability to copy a modern site page from one site to another
You cannot copy a site page from on site to the site pages folder of another site. This is crazy. You can't restructure your pages into other sites. This prevents users from investing any effort in configuration that might change. It is extremely limiting.

Thanks for the suggestion. While this can accomplished via PnP Powershell today, we understand the desire to have a way to do it in the UX. We’ll add it to our backlog.

Hi all,
After hours and hours of research and test this is what I did to move pages from one site to other:
Import-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
#Source and Target Sites
$tenant = "tenant";
$SourceUrl="https://$tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sourceSite";
$targetRelativeLibraryUrl="/sites/marketing/SitePages"#SPO Connection
$AdminPassword=Read-Host -Prompt "Password" -AsSecureString
$adminUPN = "admin@australia.com.au"
$Credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $adminUPN, $AdminPassword
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SourceUrl -Credentials $cred
#Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SourceUrl -UseWebLogin
$ServerRelativeUrl=(Get-PnPWeb).ServerRelativeUrl#Get all source pages
$pages = Get-PnPListItem -List sitepagesForeach($page in $pages){
$pageName = $page.FieldValues["FileLeafRef"]
#if($pageName -like "Migrated*"){ #OPTIONAL FILTER#Write-Host $pageName
$file = Get-PnPFile -Url "$ServerRelativeUrl/sitePages/$pageName"
$fileServerRelativeUrl = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $file -Property "ServerRelativeUrl"#Start the move
Move-PnPFile -ServerRelativeUrl $fileServerRelativeUrl -TargetServerRelativeLibrary $targetRelativeLibraryUrl -Force -AllowSchemaMismatch -AllowSmallerVersionLimitOnDestination
#}
}Hope this helps.

I can't believe that there is not an option to copy and paste. I wanted to copy some information on one page to another page and not able to do this.......why?

I use Sharepoint site pages built into my Teams to give my students a class homepage. Without this feature I am stuck spending several hours recreating things I have already done for each class. I didn't know there was a classic version, and I don't know that I have access to it under the restrictions our organization IT has put on our accounts. I will be looking into finding the "Classic View" to save myself some time, but it would be amazing to have this as a feature in the modern UI.

I wonder when this would be implemented and made available.

This would be most beneficial in our organisations to allow us to move page between our different News sites. Also to move pages between our Group Intranets.

I'm in a school who uses MS teams and I've created individual SharePoint sites for each class/team - at the semester change over I have to rebuild all my sites for each class - there's no way to copy them across - Google schools allow this to happen with ease. Could this functionality please be looked at quickly

Sites Product Team, can you pin the link of how to do it via PnP PowerShell in the interim, so that people have quick access to a stop gap while you make a decision?

This functionality is much needed. I'm surprised that it is not already available.

@jack That worked. We have been working on content on a Test site and then use the Copy option on classic experience to move it to the Prod site. I have multiple hyperlinks on the Test site which has to be updated manually. Is there any workaround from not having to do this manually?

I've been trying to create a FLOW to copy a site page to another site's SitePages library without any luck either.

Today I am on a week no waiting for the single person with Shregate access in my bureau to move a page from one site to another.....RIDICULOUS that we can't do this with pages AND templates!!!!

Although it may be accompished via PnP Powershell, many SharePoint admins either don't have access or don't know how to use Powershell. Should be able to copy pages via the browser interface....

This should be a prioritized request. This is a basic function that causes alot of wasted energy to rebuild

This is surely needed coz people who are handling heavy content on the site pages ... should get flixibility from moving pages from test to prod sites.
