Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams: Update on new Microsoft Lists rollout

Updated November 6, 2024: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon to Microsoft SharePoint and Lists in Microsoft Teams: An updated Microsoft Lists. This rollout introduces new features to users, including the ability to add ratings to any list, drag and/or paste images directly into a list, see who is collaborating with you in real time, switch views by clicking tabs, and more.

This is an update to MC600726: (Updated) Microsoft Lists User Experience Update (updated October 2023) and MC709979 (Updated) Microsoft SharePoint: Updated Lists in Team Sites, Lists progressive web app (PWA), and Teams (January 2024).

When this will happen

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by mid-November 2024 (previously late October).

How this will affect your organization

Before this rollout, Lists do not have features like visible real time collaborators, easy access to views via tabs, and applied filters at the top of a list. Note: Some features described in the May 2023 blog Microsoft Lists: Easier, Better, Faster, Stronger - Microsoft Community Hub, such as new forms to collect information easily, have started to roll out or have fully rolled out.

After this rollout, users in active tenants will see the remaining Lists feature updates described in the May 2023 blog when browsing lists on SharePoint sites, the Lists progressive web app (PWA), the Lists app on the web, and the Lists app in Teams. All Lists in SharePoint sites will retain the SharePoint site's theme and navigation.

Existing lists configured with these features will be updated after this rollout:

• SharePoint Framework (SPFx) command extensions
• Power Apps forms
• Approvals

Note: Extensions that depend directly on DOM (Document Object Model) structure or CSS (cascading style sheets) are not supported and may break. We recommend using Microsoft SharePoint Framework, which provides a rich API to customize the SharePoint experience.

These Lists components are not included in the new rollout:

• SharePoint Framework (SPFx) field customizers
• The Playlist template integrated with Microsoft Stream

All new and updated List features are on by default.

What you need to do to prepare

No admin action is needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
