Sharepoint Online - Custom Content Types into Document Library
Hi all, apologies first post so please be nice 
We have setup a custom Site Content Type called Policies, with a parent of 'Document' in the Custom Content Types Group...
Site Content Type InformationName:Description:Parent:Group:
| Policies |
| Document |
| Custom Content Types |
When I go to my Document Library Settings, the only content type listed is Document and if I select 'Add from existing Site Content Types' - Custom Content Types group is not listed for me to add 'Policies'
What am I missing please? It's driving me insane!
