SharePoint Content Type Hubs

SharePoint 2010+ supports Enterprise Content Types, which let you define Content Types on a Publishing SharePoint site with one or more secondary sites consuming the Enterprise Content Types.

After you install Netwrix Data Classification for SharePoint on the SharePoint Farm, you can define SharePoint workflow actions at the SharePoint Content Type Hub site. You can run any actions of type Content Type Update on the site collection itself, and you can also run them on consuming SharePoint Site collections.
