Content type syndication

During a recent presentation I was giving about managed metadata and content types, I got an interesting question about content type syndication: “What happens to content types in other site collections when I unpublished it from the hub?”

Well the short answer is that it stays there; but rather than be read-only, which is what it is by default, it becomes unprotected and can be managed locally. To illustrate this, let’s walk through a scenario.

The first step in syndication is to enable the content hub feature in your chosen site collection.

Next, ensure you have the URL of that site collection: Central Administration > Application Management > Manager Service Applications

Select Managed Metadata Service and then Properties.

Once open, you will need to scroll down and enter the site collection URL in the designated box. I also recommend checking the box to ensure errors are logged.

Note what happens after you select OK. The value for the content-type hub is now locked and cannot be changed through the same interface, as shown below.

Next we need to ensure the service connection is set up to properly consume content types from the gallery. We go back to: Central Administration > Application Management > Manager Service Applications

Select Managed Metadata Service Connection and then Properties.

Check the box to ensure this connection consumes content types from the hub.
