Whether you customize the form in the List or publish the form to the Library, there is a defect that it cannot be reused by other lists/libraries.

Open a previously designed form:

Select to publish to SharePoint Server:

 

Enter the URL of a Site:

Here, select Content Type:

Select to create a new Content Type. If you have previously published this Content Type and want to overwrite it with a new version, you can choose to update an existing one:

Enter the name and description:

 

In this case, select a SharePoint Library. Click browse. Generally, select the Library Form Templates and click Next:

Just like publishing it to the Library, it also allows you to select the columns of the InfoPath form to generate corresponding columns in SharePoint:

Click Next, and the release is successful. Click Manage this Content Type:

 

You can see that this Content Type is already in site content types:

Now you can create a new Form Library and introduce this Content Type.
