SharePoint - Content Types

“Content types are an old faithful feature of SharePoint lists and libraries. During this session, we will talk about what they are, why you may want to use them, and how to create them in SharePoint Online.”

SharePoint Content Types

SharePoint Content Types are a way of organizing and categorizing content within a SharePoint site. Content Types are based around a particular type of content, such as a document, an image, or a video. They can be used to easily organize and manage content within a site. Content Types can be created and managed by an administrator or site owner to provide a consistent structure for content within the site. Content Types can also be used to customize the look and feel of content within a site, as well as control access to different types of content. Content Types are an important part of SharePoint's functionality and are key to creating an effective and efficient collaboration environment.
