Introduction to lists

A list is a collection of data that gives you and your co-workers a flexible way to organize information. A list consists of columns and rows, similar to a spreadsheet. For example, in a contact list, there's a row for each contact, and several columns of information about each one, such as name, phone number, and address.

A list can be stored in SharePoint, in Microsoft Teams, or in the Lists app, so everyone in your organization can look at it and add to it. The information can be displayed in different ways by sorting, filtering, and creating views.
