Add, Remove, And Get All Web Parts From Modern Site Page Using PnP PowerShell

In this blog, we are going to retrieve all the webparts present in a modern site page. Also, we will see how to add different web parts and delete a web part from a modern site page using PnP PowerShell.

First, we need to connect to the site. To perform the connection, add the following lines.

Add different Webparts

To add a text editor web part,

1. Add-PnPClientSideText -Page $page -Text "Welcomes To SharePoint"

To add a list view web part,

1. Add-PnPClientSideWebPart -Page $page -DefaultWebPartType “List” -WebPartProperties @{selectedListId="609f95e4-7022-417d-a57f-693673f7eff9"}

You can see two web parts are added successfully in the modern site page.

Retrieve all web parts used in the modern site pages.

1. $webParts = $page.Controls
2. #if there are more than one webparts
3. foreach($webpart in $webparts) {
4. Write - Host "WebPart Id "
5. $webpart.InstanceId
6. Write - Host "Title "
7. $webpart.Title
8. }

To remove web parts, we need to provide web part instance id that we have already got in PowerShell window output while retrieving the web parts. After executing the above command, it will open a dialog box to confirm web part delete. Click on "yes" to delete the web part.
