It seems like it should be possible. But I can't see how to do it.

Is it possible to add an additional site page library in a SharePoint site.

I can add document libraries just fine but it doesn't appear as I can create a page library.

The Site Pages library is a special library type in modern sites. It cannot be duplicated at this time. The most common reason for wanting another Site Pages library is usually for permission control en masse rather than on each individual page. The current recommended way to handle this is to use folders in the library instead.

By default, folders are disabled for the Site Pages library, but it can be enabled from the library's settings page under the Advanced Settings section.

  • Thanks, that is one of the reasons. The other is I have a use case where I would be creating a good amount of pages (as meeting agendas/minutes) just looking for a way to organize. Also using a custom.content type which has some additional columns that the normal site pages don't need. And it was confusing for some people thinking they weren't providing the information needed. – jeffwllms Feb 14 '23 at 04:09

No, we cannot add another page library in SharePoint Online. This is by design. Creating a folder is the best alternative.

In terms of content management it doesn't make sense to throw all news items into the same library as permanent pages. I would think most organizations would want a separate site pages library for news.
