+A content type can be a form, a document template you want to use to gather information. Behind the scenes, a content type in SharePoint is a reusable collection of metadata (columns), workflows, and behavior settings for items in a list or library. Here is a step-by-step guide to create a content type in SharePoint Online.
+
+
+# Site
+
+
+To create a content type that will be available for all lists and libraries in your site collection, navigate to **Site Settings**. Ensure you have appropriate permissions (Site Owner or Admin).
+  1. Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) in the top-right corner.
+  2. Select **Site information** > View all site settings.

+
+
+In the site settings select **Content Types**. Click on **Create**.

+<img src="/articles/img/ctcreate1.png" width="600">
+
+
+Once the content type is created, add the columns/properties that you need. 
+

+
+
+
+# Add the Content Type to List or Library
+
+First of all, make sure you have [enabled content type management](https://powershellscripts.github.io/articles/en/spo/enablect/) in your library.
+
+If the content management is enabled, go to your list or library and click on **Add column**. Scroll to the bottom of your column list and select **Add a content type**
