##Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
Path	String	True	Path to the xml or pnp file containing the provisioning template.
ClearNavigation	SwitchParameter	False	Override the RemoveExistingNodes attribute in the Navigation elements of the template. If you specify this value the navigation nodes will always be removed before adding the nodes in the template
ExcludeHandlers	Handlers	False	Allows you to run all handlers, excluding the ones specified.
ExtensibilityHandlers	ExtensibilityHandler[]	False	Allows you to specify ExtensbilityHandlers to execute while applying a template
GalleryTemplateId	Guid	False
Handlers	Handlers	False	Allows you to only process a specific part of the template. Notice that this might fail, as some of the handlers require other artifacts in place if they are not part of what your applying.
InputInstance	ProvisioningTemplate	False	Allows you to provide an in-memory instance of the ProvisioningTemplate type of the PnP Core Component. When using this parameter, the -Path parameter refers to the path of any supporting file for the template.
OverwriteSystemPropertyBagValues	SwitchParameter	False	Specify this parameter if you want to overwrite and/or create properties that are known to be system entries (starting with vti_, dlc_, etc.)
Parameters	Hashtable	False	Allows you to specify parameters that can be referred to in the template by means of the {parameter:} token. See examples on how to use this parameter.
ProvisionContentTypesToSubWebs	SwitchParameter	False	If set content types will be provisioned if the target web is a subweb.
ResourceFolder	String	False	Root folder where resources/files that are being referenced in the template are located. If not specified the same folder as where the provisioning template is located will be used.
TemplateProviderExtensions	ITemplateProviderExtension[]	False	Allows you to specify ITemplateProviderExtension to execute while applying a template.
Web	WebPipeBind	False	The web to apply the command to. Omit this parameter to use the current web.
##Examples

###Example 1

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path template.xml

Applies a provisioning template in XML format to the current web.

###Example 2

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path template.xml -ResourceFolder c:\provisioning\resources

Applies a provisioning template in XML format to the current web. Any resources like files that are referenced in the template will be retrieved from the folder as specified with the ResourceFolder parameter.

###Example 3

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path template.xml -Parameters @{"ListTitle"="Projects";"parameter2"="a second value"}

Applies a provisioning template in XML format to the current web. It will populate the parameter in the template the values as specified and in the template you can refer to those values with the {parameter:} token.

For instance with the example above, specifying {parameter:ListTitle} in your template will translate to 'Projects' when applying the template. These tokens can be used in most string values in a template.

###Example 4

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path template.xml -Handlers Lists, SiteSecurity

Applies a provisioning template in XML format to the current web. It will only apply the lists and site security part of the template.

###Example 5

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path template.pnp

Applies a provisioning template from a pnp package to the current web.

###Example 6

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/templatestorage/Documents/template.pnp

Applies a provisioning template from a pnp package stored in a library to the current web.

###Example 7

PS:> $handler1 = New-PnPExtensibilityHandlerObject -Assembly Contoso.Core.Handlers -Type Contoso.Core.Handlers.MyExtensibilityHandler1
PS:> $handler2 = New-PnPExtensibilityHandlerObject -Assembly Contoso.Core.Handlers -Type Contoso.Core.Handlers.MyExtensibilityHandler1
PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path NewTemplate.xml -ExtensibilityHandlers $handler1,$handler2

This will create two new ExtensibilityHandler objects that are run while provisioning the template

###Example 8

PS:> Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path .\ -InputInstance $template

Applies a provisioning template from an in-memory instance of a ProvisioningTemplate type of the PnP Core Component, reading the supporting files, if any, from the current (.) path. The syntax can be used together with any other supported parameters.
