If I create a Document Set there is no way in UI you can create nested document set. But the same can be achieved via Drag & Drop and even programmatically. what is the recommendation from Microsoft

    Hi @Sridhar Shankar ,

    You’re correct that creating a Document Set within another Document Set isn’t directly supported through the UI. However, Creative users figured out that they are able to drag and drop (or move) multiple document sets into another document set.

    Content Type Consideration: Keep in mind that Document Sets can’t directly contain other Document Sets. If you need a more complex structure, consider using folders.
