In order to centralize all out-of-the-box content we're planning to retire the gallery-only content templates. The legacy gallery content templates are no longer being updated, and the content hub is where OOTB content is kept up to date. Content hub provides update workflows for solutions and automatic updates for standalone content. We're also introducing a central tool to reinstate the corresponding "in use" retired templates as content hub items.

All template galleries will display an in-product warning banner. This banner will contain a link to a tool that will run within the Microsoft Sentinel portal. Activating the tool will initiate a guided experience to reinstate the content templates for the `IN USE`active items originally based on gallery templates. This tool only runs once per workspace so be sure to plan with your organization. Once the tool runs successfully, the warning banner will resolve and no longer be visible from the template galleries of that workspace.

## Action needed
76
88
- Starting now, install new OOTB content from Content hub and update solutions as needed to have the latest version of the templates.
77
89
- For existing gallery content templates you are using, get future updates by installing the respective solutions or standalone content items from Content hub. The gallery content in the feature galleries may be out-of-date.

90
- If you have applications or processes that directly get OOTB content from the Microsoft Sentinel GitHub repository, update the locations to include getting OOTB content from the solutions folder in addition to existing content folders.

#### How will the central tool identify my in-use OOTB content templates?
103
-
The tool will look for data connectors with “status = connected” to build a list of solutions and standalone content that you can review and install to get content hub OOTB content templates in all the impacted feature galleries. For playbook templates, in addition there is a specific check for ‘in-use’ playbook templates. Since this process installs solutions, you might get more OOTB content items that match the connected data source than you might be actually using.

Currently all the data connectors exist in the data connectors gallery so you can see the specific data connector show up as “status = Connected” if the specific data type matches with that referenced in the data connector. After the centralization experiences go live, the specific data connector needs to be installed from the respective solution to get the same behavior.
