Hi Greg, Could you please let me know if there is any way to include predefined Page templates via Site Design/pnp provisioning engine? Or some other mechanism to have some predefined page templates whenever new site is created.

Hello Maven, how to replace an existing page like classic with the modern page template you created?

Hi, I have a quick question. Instead of clicking +New -> Page based on a template, can I instead add a button into template( add a new page) that would add a page directly? Is there a way to do it like button(label: add a page) & link: link of the template. But create a new page(based on that template) instead of just going to the template directly by this button into the template? Thanks!

Hello Maven, the problem is when I create a page template with a Document Library, the folders or files that I upload to the library will change in all the other pages that have the same document library. This happens because everytime I create a new page from that template, the library is the same for all pages. Any solutions to fix this? Create a library as template and then insert it into the page template is a good solution? Thanks!

Is there a way of creating a site template? So users create a company-branded and approved-layout site from the get-go.

Can you save a page as a content type?

The fact that there is not a way to create a site template out of the box in Modern SharePoint is indicative of Microsoft's lack of understanding around the needs of administrators. Over the last few years it has seemed like MS has been churning out products that can be setup by a 10-year old, yay, but at the same time removing the complexity that we as administrators need to be able to use the same product for an organization.
