Create an enterprise model in Microsoft Syntex

^{Applies to:   ✓ All custom models   |   ✓ All prebuilt models}

An enterprise model is created and trained in the content center, and can be discovered by others to use. Whether you want to create a custom model or use a prebuilt model, you can do so from any of these places in Microsoft Syntex:

• From the Models library
• From the content center home page
• From any document library in a site where Syntex has been activated

For this article, we start in the Models library. For information about the different model types, see Overview of model types in Syntex.

If you want to create a local model, see Create a model on a local SharePoint site.

Create a model

From the Models library, select Create a model.

On the Options for model creation page, there are two sections:

• Train a custom model

• Set up a prebuilt model

Note

All model options might not be available. These options are configured by your Microsoft 365 admin.

The Train a custom model section shows the training method for the type of custom models you want to create.
