| MC600726 | (Updated) Microsoft Lists User Experience Update | Users in affected tenants will see Lists feature updates as described in this blog post. These improvements will reach all Lists, except those that have been configured with the following features: SharePoint Framework extensions PowerApps forms Approvals The Playlist template Lists that are using these features will not receive the new user experience with this feature rollout. Future rollouts will bring support for Lists that are using these features. Lists with the new experience will always open inside the Lists app, whether those lists are opened from Lists Home, a sharing link, a direct link, or a link in SharePoint navigation. This means SharePoint site elements like the header and left navigation will not be shown on initial load. There are two ways to show these site elements in a List: Users can click the “Open in Site” button in the upper right corner of the list. This causes the List to reload inside the parent SharePoint site with those site elements visible on the page. Admins can set a property on a site collection to make all lists in that site collection always load with the site elements intact. This property is called ListsShowHeaderAndNavigation. This an example PowerShell cmdlet that will set this property for a site given its URL: Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/site1 -ListsShowHeaderAndNavigation $true Site owners can navigate to the Navigation Elements settings page and configure a new setting called “Lists in Sites.” This setting causes navigation links to lists in that site collection to always open inside the parent SharePoint site. |

This update improves the overall performance of Microsoft Lists and introduces new features, 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, view date/time values in your preferred date settings and timezone, and more.

Update October 20, 2023: Thank you so much for the feedback on this feature rollout. We have listened to your feedback and are making changes to the feature as follows: Lists with the new experience will continue to open inside the Lists app when they are opened from Lists Home, a sharing link or a direct link.

We are working on a future rollout that will bring support to these Lists, in-line with the feedback we’ve gotten from customers so far.

Updated October 20, 2023: We have updated the content below to show as intended. Thank you for your patience. To provide greater process flexibility, we have integrated Microsoft Purview Records Management with Power Automate. We provide the actions ‘Apply a retention label on the item’, ‘Relabel an item at the end of retention’, ‘Delete an item at the end of retention’, and ‘Trigger a new instance of the flow if an item can't be located’ in Microsoft 365 Compliance connector to unlock more scenarios on this integration. Compliance administrators will now be able to create retention labels and choose a Power Automate flow to run when an item labeled with it expires in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange. This capability is currently available in public preview. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 88816 and 117424 [When this will happen:] This feature will be Generally Available beginning mid-October 2023. |
