We know that SharePoint is a Microsoft cloud-based service used to create websites, lists, and pages. When an organization wants to back up or move a site or page to another site, the copy method is often used.
In this blog, I have shared a few methods for copying a SharePoint site to another site. This post will be helpful for those who are looking for information on this topic.
Who can copy the SharePoint site?
Microsoft is always concerned about user security, which is why site permissions are necessary for copying files and folders. If you are a SharePoint administrator, all necessary permissions are automatically assigned to you.
On the other hand, if you can only view the site, you might not have the permissions required to copy or make any changes to it.
Copy SharePoint site to Another site – Step-by-Step
Below, I’ll outline a few methods for copying a site or page to another location. No technical assistance is needed to carry out these steps.
Use the copy option to duplicate your site pages
- Open your SharePoint which you want to copy then navigate to Site content.
- Go to Site Pages to expand all items
- Select the page that you want to replicate then hit on the “Copy to” option
That’s it.
The above method helps you to copy pages within the site. For copying the page into another site, we will use the Power Automate feature.
Copy SharePoint site to Another Site – Power Automate
- Go to powerautomate.microsoft.com and sign in to your account with credentials.
- Click on “Create” > Choose “Instant cloud flow“
- A pop-up window will appear> Choose “Manually trigger a flow”
- Press the + icon and add an action
- Search copy file and select it
- Fill in all the details:
- Current site address – select path in drop-down.
- File to copy – select file
- Destination site address – another site address
- Destination folder – the location where you want to save
- If another file is already there – choose any one you want
Now save the flow and test it.
When the flow is successfully run then check the other site where you want to copy SharePoint site page. You can also modify the site to include the latest content.
Another method to copy a page from SharePoint site
This method also works for copying the site page without any technical error.
- Open your SharePoint site and go to “Site Contents“
- Navigate to Site Pages
- Open the page, you want to copy
- Click on the “+ New” drop-down and choose “Copy of this page“
Now you have successfully copied the selected page. You can rename it and publish the page with the new site.
Note: This method does not work for Homepage.
Conclusion
If organizations want to manage the same data from different sites, copying pages in SharePoint becomes a crucial step. The above method saves time while maintaining consistency. Copying a SharePoint page to another site can be seen as a straightforward process because it allows existing content to be migrated from one site to another efficiently.
