Frequently asked questions

Based on the leading content services of SharePoint, Syntex introduces a new experience for managing content at scale, integrating metadata and workflow, and delivering compliance automation—the content center. Content centers supply capabilities to teach the cloud how to read and process documents the same way you would manually. SharePoint Syntex uses those insights to automatically recognize content, extract important information, and apply metadata tags. In addition, you can track the effectiveness of your models with integrated visual analytics.
Learn more about content centers and content understanding models by viewing our May 20 Office Hours meeting on content understanding.

The models you create and train use content types to classify content. The information you select to extract from the structured or unstructured files is reflected as columns in that content type’s schema. This is intentional to provide an intelligent content type that can be used to fulfill other use cases, like search filtering and defining file plans to apply information protection labels by schema.

No, the content type gallery won’t directly replace the content type hub; there will still be a content type hub. The content type gallery is intended to be a more flexible and more centralized way than the content type hub for you to create and manage the enterprise content types that you want to provide across sites in your organization.

Managed metadata services

It’s now a suite-wide service available through Microsoft 365, and some additional new features will be part of SharePoint Syntex.

MMS is part of SharePoint and has been upgraded both on back end and modern UX.

You won't need to migrate your existing term stores; you'll just get new powerful features.

No, the new experiences won’t be accessible to non-SharePoint admins because the experiences are housed within the SharePoint admin center. You’ll need to be a SharePoint admin to see the global term store and the content type gallery. We’re actively working on modernizing the site collection and site admin experiences. As they’re modernized, you’ll see one modern experience throughout all your admin interactions.

Machine training

You can apply machine training to Office documents, PDFs, and images. Our documentation will be clear about the supported file types. While certain Office file types are supported, it might be a more difficult to build models from file types with a lot of layout and formatting nuance. The goal is to support all Office file types, PDFs, and images.

There are two different types of models, one for structured content and one for unstructured content. You apply form processing models for structured content to a library because you start from a library to go into AI Builder to build your model for that library. You can apply the models for unstructured content, which you build in the content center, to multiple libraries.
