Can a list contain multiple types of documents?
Most list and libraries can contain multiple content types. By defining multiple content types for a list or library, you can make it easy to build libraries or lists that store different types of documents together in one place. For example, a library can contain both the documents and the graphics related to a project.
When to add a content type to a list or library?
A single list or library can contain multiple content types, and each content type can have unique metadata, policies, or behavior. When you add a site content type to a list or library, it is called a list content type. The list content type is a child of the site content type from which it was created.
