SharePoint uses several types of models:
- Page Model: SharePoint uses templates to define and render pages on a site. The three main elements of a SharePoint page are Master pages, Page layouts, and Pages.
- Master Pages: These are the common elements that appear on all pages of your website, including the header, footer, navigation, breadcrumbs, search box, logo, and other branding elements.
- Page Layouts: These define the layout for a specific class of pages.
- Pages: These are created from a page layout by authors who add content to page fields.
- Site Model: SharePoint offers two distinct types of sites in its modern interface: communication sites and team sites. Each site type comes with its own set of templates, which include pre-populated content, pages, and web parts that can be tailored to suit your organization's specific needs.
- Document Processing Model: In Microsoft Syntex, document processing models allow you to classify uploaded documents in SharePoint and extract required information from each file.
Note: that these models are used in different contexts and for other purposes within SharePoint.
