Introducing the Microsoft Lists App in Teams

Aug 2020

As you may have read in our recent blog Microsoft have added a new app to their 365 suite with the launch of Microsoft lists.

They've now taken this one step further and the app will be available in Microsoft Teams for all Teams clients and will be rolled out in September and October 2020.

The 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. With this app, end users can work on their favorite lists from within Teams.

After adding the Lists app, you can carry out all functions of Microsoft Lists (home) and SharePoint lists, including adding/editing columns, filtering, sorting, formatting, and exporting to Excel. 

These include:

  • Create a new list which will reside in the team site, and pin the list to the channel tab
  • Pin any existing list they have access to the (the or a) tab
  • Start a channel conversation about a list item after clicking the list to see a full stage view.

Lists created using the Lists app and Lists created in SharePoint are identical.
