What can I do with SharePoint lists?
They are designed for tracking and managing data and look similar to spreadsheets. For many applications, for example, displaying data when tracking software bugs or a task list, a SharePoint List is a far better solution than a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Why use SharePoint lists instead of Excel?
You can maintain data integrity more effectively using a SharePoint list than an Excel spreadsheet due to the mix of rights, forms, targeting, and data validation control sets. Make an audit trail of every item on the list. Every item in the SharePoint list includes an edit history and a version history.
What is the difference between Microsoft Lists and SharePoint lists?
While standard SharePoint lists are designed more for data, the new Microsoft lists also include a certain social interaction aspect. For example, integration with Teams, and the ability to leave comments on an item. The interface also offers more collaboration possibilities.
Which are different types of lists in SharePoint?
Internal list types refer to the normal lists in a SharePoint while the external lists refer to those lists with external source of data. Another broad category of SharePoint list types is the communication, custom and tracking lists.
