Introducing Lists for Use In Microsoft 365

Jul 2020

Microsoft have added a new app to it's 365 suite of apps with the launch arrival of the first stage of Microsoft Lists. Microsoft Lists home (web) is the central place for all the lists you access across different sites.

Targeted for release in late July, and complete for all by mid-October 2020, Lists helps you organise, collaborate and share. You can quickly start a list from scratch or get inspired by ready-made templates. View your recently accessed lists no matter where they are stored and favourite lists that need quick access.
