A SharePoint list in Microsoft Lists

Already have lists in SharePoint, such as a contact list or an equipment overview? You don't need to rebuild them. Microsoft Lists is built on SharePoint, so your existing lists are already there. You can also base a new list on one.

Find your SharePoint lists in Lists

  1. Open Lists from the Microsoft 365 app launcher, or the Lists app in Teams.
  2. Under Recent lists and Favorites you see lists you opened recently, including from SharePoint sites.
  3. Select the star to keep a list as a favorite.
The Microsoft Lists start page

A new list based on an existing one

  1. Select + New list > From existing list.
  2. Pick the site and the list.
  3. Name the new list and choose where to save it. Columns, views and formatting are copied; items are not.
