Is there a way to migrate/move SharePoint Online custom content types which were created in site to centralized Content Type Gallery?

I have a site with site content types and I would like to make them available to other sites in my tenant? What would be the best way to achieve that?

This should be possible with the Content type hub in SharePoint.

Check below documentations for more information:

  1. Publish a content type from a content publishing hub
  2. Content Type Hub In SharePoint Online

  • With Content type hub It is possible only to publish Content Types from Hub to Sites. My question is a bit different.

  • Yes, to publish & reuse the content type. I don't think it is possible to migrate/move custom content types. You have to re-create it, either manually or using scripting.

In my case, I had several content types that had been created on a project site and it was decided to they needed to be available for all projects. I used the ShareGate application (Copy Content and Structure) to copy the needed content types from the source project site to the internal SharePoint online content type hub (https://your tenant/sites/contenttypehub/). I'm sure this could also be accomplished using PowerShell. When the copy was complete I published the content types through SharePoint Admin > Content Services > Content Type Gallery. After publication, I was able to add the new content type using the add column menu in my library.
