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.

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.

Circling back since I solved it.
Get-PnPFile -AsFile -Url /sites/20200905/SitePages/Home.aspx -Filename home.aspx -Path C:\users\administrator
@Sites Product Team, please provide snipits when you make statements such as it works in PnP since the ask can be interpreted to mean many different asks to different people.

Circling back, I solved the issue with the following command.
Get-PnPFile -AsFile -Url /sites/20200905/SitePages/Home.aspx -Filename home.aspx -Path C:\users\administrator
The above snipit was tested on STS3 template(Modern Team site w/o O365 group)
As a suggestion the Sites Product Team, post a solution rather than state it is accomplished Pnp. Include snipits, code and other useful information.

False, Sitepages cannot be copied using pnp. I have been on this for 3 hours now. 3 hours times 1599=4,797 hours wasted by the world that reads this forum.
One solution would be to provide the ability and another would be to provide it in pnp. Oh exhalted one, try it in pnp and post back if you got it to work.

This is a must have - and it was/is still supported in the "classic experience"

This seems to be basic functionality--please help--it's incredibly tedious to copy individual assets in order to move a page from one site to another.

I was shocked to see that this function did not exist already. Please add this!!! Organizations change, and SP sites should be flexible enough to adapt along with them.

While we have a work around in classic; Microsoft really needs to make the copy function part of the modern UI.
The work around is to switch the site pages library back to classic experience then in the list view > click the ellipsis (...) labeled 'show actions' on the page you want to copy > then again on the ellipsis labeled 'more actions' > choose "copy" and provide the destination page library URL. Ugly process but it still works for now.
We also force everyone to use a common 'Page resources and media' publishing site collection for icons, images and what not. The common resource location is a bear to manage but makes site publishing from Dev > Staging > Prod and A to B migrations easier in the long run. -

A surprsiing omission in what should be a bsic function. (Bit like rename a site which is also not there)

This is definitely needed. So many pages... so much time wasted not being able to copy to another site

If I have to rebuild my pages from scratch it's going to take many hours. I don't understand why this function doesn't already exist.

No Problem to do this in Confluence. We need this in SharePoint.

It would be great if this also included the ability to copy modern site page templates from one site to another, particularly in Hub site so you can push page templates to associated sites.

We use flow to copy the page from site A to site B. Drawback to this is the site B page has to be modified to use images and links hosted on site B because everything will still be referencing site A. But it does minimize some development time.

The lack of this functionality has hit productivity, please re-instate as soon as possible. I could even do this on the legacy alfresco system and it was brilliant. How is it a later release has reduced functionality??!
