Create A Document Set In SharePoint online (Office 365)

This topic explains how to enable the Document Sets feature for an office 365 SharePoint online site collection, and then how to configure the Document Set content type.Document Set is a hybrid between a folder and a list item. It allows you group documents together as with a folder and at the same time, associate metadata to it as you would with an item.

Document Sets are a feature in SharePoint Server 2013 that enables an organization to manage a single deliverable, or work product, which can include multiple documents or files. A Document Set is a special kind of folder that combines unique Document Set attributes, the attributes and behavior of folders and documents, and provides a user interface (UI), metadata, and object model elements to help manage all aspects of the work product.
