DESCRIPTION

The New-PnPSite cmdlet creates a new site collection for the current tenant. Currently only 'modern' sites like Communication Site , Modern Microsoft 365 group-connected team sites and Modern Team sites not connected to M365 groups are supported. If you want to create a classic site, use New-PnPTenantSite. Note that the -Type parameter is mandatory to be used to indicate which type of site you would like to create. Based on the type of site you specify, you will be able to provide the additional arguments that are valid for that site type, so it is recommended to provide this as the first argument.
