So far I have seen two external developers struggling with not knowing how to use content types on 6.2. Here is one example: https://groups.google.com/a/magnolia-cms.com/g/user-list/c/6OCJFiFqWcc/m/q1I2N39yAgAJ Please review the documentation on Content types Ensure that the following 2 cases are met:

I see that it is documented here: But then probably this needs to be more prominent, and probably also include an example of "!content-type", not just of "!content-type-m5". |

Should at least be mentioned on these pages: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS62/Changes+in+Magnolia+6+UI https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS62/Migrating+an+app+to+Magnolia+6+UI

We also mention that here: In Magnolia 6.2.x, the !content-type directive generates a Magnolia 6 UI app. This means that any overriding or decoration of a content-type based app needs to be updated to match the 6 UI. As an alternative, you can use the new !content-type-m5 directive, which generates a 5 UI app.
But let's make it more prominent on a page whose focus is not on Upgrading. I'd probably also add it here: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS62/App+descriptor |

Closing as obsolete. Not relevant now, vast majority of projects are on 6.2. And documengtation on migrating to 6..2 exists now as well. |
