Hi Friends,

This blog is about enabling “Save as Site Template” in SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.

Save Site as Template is only visible if you have publishing infrastructure disable in your site collection Administrator and site Action.

By default “save site as Template” is visible in Site Settings under <Site Action > In SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013

SharePoint 2013

SharePoint 2010

If “Save as Site Template” is not visible in your Site actions perform following Actions:

1-> First go to your Site settings

  è Site Action -> Manage Site features Click on SharePoint Server Publishing and deactivate it if it is  enabled.

     2-> Site Collection Administrator -> Site Collection Feature (Deactivate following Feature)

  è Cross-Site Collection Publishing    ( optional)  

  è SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure

    3-> If you had publishing feature enabled and you have just deactivated it then you will not able to see Save as Site Template after deactivating publishing infrastructure. 

    4-> You need to open your site using SharePoint designer. After opening site using SharePoint designer just go to Site Tab, Site Option button on the right most part of panel, Click on it, a window will open as bellow:

Happy Codding...
