[Autogenerated] hi. In this lesson, we're

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,080
going to talk about content types. So what

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,980
exactly are content types? Well, their

4
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:15,770
metadata content types are collections of

5
00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:19,560
metadata that we conceive and work with as

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,310
columns of data in SharePoint lists and

7
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:26,330
libraries. Now, I know it's not difficult

8
00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:28,210
to simply create columns and a list or

9
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:30,710
library when you need them. But if you

10
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:33,840
create a content type instead, you can

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,690
reuse IT. If you have several lists or

12
00:00:37,690 --> 00:00:40,860
libraries on your site that are using the

13
00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:43,860
same columns, you won't have to recreate

14
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:46,480
those columns each time you need them if

15
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:51,340
you instead create content types. Content

16
00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:54,450
types are created at the top level site in

17
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:56,530
the site collection, and they're available

18
00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:59,970
for the entire site collection. You can

19
00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:02,330
create a simple content type with only one

20
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:06,050
column of metadata, or UM, or complex

21
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:08,920
content type that contains multiple types

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,290
of columns. Now, content types can also

23
00:01:12,290 --> 00:01:14,800
add SharePoint properties to a list item

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,470
or document properties that could be used

25
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:21,940
by the power platform app apps, Power-BI I

26
00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:26,150
power automate and power app apps. Content

27
00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:27,930
types could be very powerful, and there

28
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:30,770
are wonderful feature of SharePoint. So

29
00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:33,190
now you know a little bit more about

30
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:36,000
content types. That's it for this lesson.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time.
