In SharePoint in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Server 2019, you can group by a single column by selecting that column’s header and then selecting Group by [column name]. To undo grouping, select the column header and then select Group by again.
A Site Column is a template of a configured column. By creating a Site Column, you can reuse it anywhere else in the site and not have to manually rebuild its configuration at each reuse. When creating a new column in a list or library, you have a choice to either “Create column” or “Add from existing site columns”.
In SharePoint, navigate to your Site Settings and choose Site Columns. The Site Columns page will contain all the metadata columns currently available in your site, except for hidden system columns. Choose Create. A Site Column can be created for many different information types, including: Single line of text, Number, Date and Time, etc.

Microsoft has created a number of Managed Properties that we can use in order to extend the search experience. These properties take the form: “Refinable” + type of column + number -> RefinableString00 or RefinableDate03
