Create autofill columns

What it does

AI in SharePoint can help you create columns in a SharePoint document library based on file content.

These columns can be used to filter, group, or manage files in the library.

How to use it

1. Go to the SharePoint document library you want to organize.

2. Open AI in SharePoint using the Floating Button.

3. Select Create autofill columns.

4. Review the suggested columns or request a column.

5. Apply the changes to the library.

What to expect

• Column suggestions are based on the content analyzed by AI in SharePoint.

• Files are not moved, renamed, or deleted.

• Existing permissions and access controls continue to apply.

Check processing status

After you apply changes, AI in SharePoint may need time to process files in the library.

You can check the processing status to see whether files are still being processed or if processing has completed.
