Descendant Locations
A descendant location allows you to target a location across multiple sites. This can be useful when sites are created based off a template, and the same library structure is available within each site.
For example, if every Project Site has a library named "Email Library", we can target the email library from many different sites.
This will group the 'Email Library' together from many locations into one container
