This project is not anymore actively being developed, so repository is archive. You may use the source code and any other assets anyway you prefer. If you are looking for similar more complete solution, please have a look on the SharePoint Starter Kit, which is providing similar end-to-end solution, but using modern experiences.
This is the repository for PnP Partner Pack, which is part of the community driven Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices (PnP) initiative.
PnP Partner Pack can be considered as Starter Kit for customers and partners and combines numerous patterns and practices demonstrated in the PnP samples to one reusable solution, which can be deployed and used in any Office 365 tenant. PnP Partner Pack is using PnP SharePoint Core Component, which increases developer productivity with CSOM and REST based operations.
PnP Partner Pack solution is demonstrating following capabilities:
- Self-service site collection and sub site provisioning solution
- Fully configurable based on business requirements
- Save existing site as new template from the standard user interface
- Template creation does not require xml or script knowledge - New templates can be generated from the existing sites
- Sub site creation implementation with remote provisioning
- Support for tenant wide or site collection templates
- Responsive UI package for the Office 365 SP sites
- Can be applied independently to any Classic SharePoint site (it's part of the PnP Core functionality)
- Uses JavaScript and custom CSS files to transform oob SP sites as responsive
- UI widget implementations with JavaScript embedding pattern to avoid custom master pages
- Governance tools for administrators: apply SharePoint farm-wide branding, refresh site templates, bulk creation of site collections
- Reference governance remote timer jobs (Azure WebJobs) to perform typical enterprise governance operations to existing site collections and sites
- Configurable branding and text elements for easy branding element changes
If you are interested on more detailed architectural description, please have a look on specific PnP Partner Pack - Architecture documentation.

- PnP guidance and samples are maintained by Microsoft & community
- PnP uses supported and recommended techniques
- PnP implementations are reviewed and approved by Microsoft engineering
- PnP is open source initiative
- PnP is NOT a product and therefore it’s not supported through Premier Support or other official support channels
- PnP is supported in similar ways as other open source projects done by Microsoft with support from the community by the community
- There are numerous partners that utilize PnP within their solutions for customers. Support for this is provided by the Partner. When PnP material is used in deployments, we recommend to be clear with your customer / deployment owner on the support model.
Yes. You can use this code and patterns anyway you want in your own implementations or offerings. You do not have to ask specific permission for anything around the PnP initiative. We rather hope that customers and partners would re-use our material as much as possible.
Obviously we are interested on your feedback and since PnP is open source community driven initiate, all contributions back to the PnP are absolutely welcome and appreciated, but not required.
