Issue description
The current documentation for SharePoint Premium Rest Api (It was called "Syntex" before) are quite old (most of them were updated three years ago) and not completely ( lack of many new features , e.g. AutoFill ).
Then it is inconvenient to use SharePoint Premium features programmatically . For example, I want to deploy my autofill document library from one environment to another via PnP Powershell. I saw my prompt on column has been deployed, but the "Autofill" command doesn't appear, until I manually changed the prompt (I guess this step triggered something)

wuxiaojun514,
Thanks for raising concern, For autofill there is document of microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/syntex/autofill?utm_source=chatgpt.com.
Currently, there is no specific Microsoft official documentation dedicated solely to "Programmatically Deploying Autofill Columns" using PnP PowerShell. However, the tasks involved (like deploying columns, especially Autofill columns) can be inferred from the documentation on SharePoint PnP PowerShell, SharePoint Syntex, and general PnP PowerShell deployment practices.
Microsoft Syntex Documentation
PnP PowerShell Official Docs
Thanks!

Hi Ashlesha-MSFT
Thanks for your reply.
Microsoft Syntex Documentation doesn't contain how to call autofill column rest api
The current Syntex Rest Api is quite old and also don't have any information to about autofill column api.
So I want MS can update Syntex Rest Api to include autofill column part (also other new features in syntex), so developer can consume it.
