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.

Not only the page, but localized content the Page uses in the /Documents and /Assets folders should also copy to the target site & links with in the page should point to the target site. In my use cases, I will develop content on a PRIVATE site. Then once everyone is happy, I recreate the page on the PUBLIC site. This way those who I want to review can be added to the PRIVATE site & not have to have OWNER privileges on the PUBLIC site to review before its published. Instead of having to recreate the page, it would be much more efficient to just copy the page.

I've been asked to move some SharePoint pages from one site to another. I said "Yes, no problem" as I had assumed it would be a snack. This is rediculous. It's an obvious thing that people should be able to do quickly and easily. We've been able to copy files from one PC to another since the PC 286 was invented, so not to be able to copy a SharePoint page from one site to another seems to take the "Share" out of "SharePoint". This should definately be a priority

How is this not a thing? This is a basic ask within our company, but everyone has their own site. God forbid someone likes what you created on a page but you cant share a copy of it to give it to them.

The ability to move or copy pages from one site to another is a key requirement for any content manager. Not everyone wants to be a developer to perform their day to day tasks!

I would actually like to MOVE a page - not just copy.

Desperately need the ability to Design Once and Use Many. If I design a page in one site collection I want to use it in many other site collections. Also want to back up one site collection and restore it with a new name (URL). The small clients may not need this but big clients need same look and feel in various Departments, Divisions, and Operating Companies.

For SharePoint online the ability to copy in aspx pages is blocked further now by security policy. This prevents PnP option from working surely adding this to the interface is the way to go at least within a tennancy.
