Copy-SPOPersonalSitePage

  • Reference
Module:
Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
Applies to:
SharePoint Online

This cmdlet command allows you to relocate existing SharePoint pages by utilizing an existing copy operation. We will also copy any assets associated with the SharePoint pages to the new destination. We offer two methods for relocating pages:

  • Copy: This method keeps the original page intact while creating a duplicate at the new location.
  • Move: This method creates a new copy at the new location and deletes the original page from the source.

Syntax

Copy-SPOPersonalSitePage
    -SourceSite <SpoSitePipeBind>
    -DestinationSite <SpoSitePipeBind>
    -PageName <String>
    -DeleteSourcePage <SwitchParameter>
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Copy-SPOPersonalSitePage cmdlet allows a SharePoint Administrator to copy one or more SharePoint pages from a selected source to a chosen destination SharePoint site. If the -DeleteSourcePage parameter is set to $true, the source page(s) will be deleted after the copy operation, effectively moving the page(s).

Note

This cmdlet may not be available in all tenants as the feature rollout could be in progress. If the feature has not been enabled in your tenant, attempting to run this cmdlet will result in an error.

Where can I move the existing page(s) to and from?

Source Destination
SharePoint pages library in OneDrive for Business SharePoint pages library in OneDrive for Business
SharePoint pages library in OneDrive for Business SharePoint site
SharePoint site SharePoint site

How do I query the status of my copy operation?

After this cmdlet is executed, you'll receive the following information:

Property Description
ErrorMessage We will show the corresponding error message, if any error occurs.
JobState The current state of the job.
NewPageUrl The URL of the new page if the copy operation has completed.
SourcePageName The name of the source page to be copied.
StatusMessage A message describing the current status.
WorkItemId The work item ID used to track the status of the copy job. If the copy operation is complete, this will be 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
  • If the copy is successful, the URL for the new page will be provided.
  • If the copy is still in progress, you will receive the work item ID. You can use the Get-SPOPersonalSitePageCopyProgress command to check the status of the URL.

The following table explains the copy job's state:
