# Overview

DocumentSetCfg defines a document set template. Document sets allow grouping multiple related documents and managing them as a single collection with shared metadata and workflows.

# Applied when

Document set templates are created when:

  • The parent DocLibCfg is provisioned and references this configuration via DocumentSets
  • Applied during document library provisioning; document set templates are created after the library is created
  • The referenced ContentType must exist in the site; if the content type is not found, provisioning logs a warning and the document set template is not created
  • Column defaults specified in ColumnsDefaultValue are applied to new document sets created from this template
  • Once created, document sets allow users to group related documents and manage them as a single unit
