This is the first time I use document sets. where I added a site content type of type document set named "IT", as follow: -

3KQfPmvl

and a content type of type document named "ITPage" which is defined inside the above document set content type; -

rUQCOebk

Now inside the documents library, I added the "IT" document set content type which also added the "ITPage" content type: -

g6dmamIz

then I added a new "IT" folder: -

tClBrGyf

and inside the folder i added a new ITPage document:-

6DvmAbBM

then i got this message:-

gzgRJqIz

so, what is this message? and what it is trying to say?

thanks

    Hi @john john Pter,

    The message indicates that the document you created (the "ITPage" document) is being recognized as a template rather than a standard document. This typically happens when the document is associated with a content type that is defined as a template. Just overview it and click "Yes" to go on.

    And, if you create template from here:

    User's image

    I noticed that the message will not appear.
