Microsoft Teams users will soon be able to work on their favourite lists from within Teams.
Create and edit lists in Teams
The new Lists app in Microsoft Teams brings lists in team SharePoint sites into the collaboration and teamwork canvas of channels and facilitates conversations around list items. The roll-out starts early September. As a result, by mid October all users will also be able to carry out all functions of Microsoft Lists (home) and SharePoint lists in Teams, including adding/editing columns, filtering, sorting, formatting, and exporting to Excel. The lists app also enables to create new lists from within Teams. Microsoft says that lists created using the Lists app and Lists created in SharePoint are identical.
Lists is pre-installed for all Teams users and is available directly in the tab gallery of every team and channel. Teams admins can control the availability of the app using app permission policies. Microsoft recommends to notify end users about the availability of the Lists App and to update end user training and documentation.
