Understanding the differences between Crawled and Managed Properties in SharePoint Online is key to getting the most out of the platform. Crawled Properties are metadata columns that are automatically created by the search engine. They are often referred to as "hidden" columns, since they are not visible on the SharePoint interface. Managed Properties, on the other hand, are created by the user and can be seen on the SharePoint interface. Crawled Properties are used by the search engine to index content, while Managed Properties can be used to filter and sort search results. It is important to note that Crawled Properties cannot be edited or deleted, while Managed Properties can be modified or deleted. Additionally, Crawled Properties are often more powerful than Managed Properties due to the amount of information they can provide.
