Create a copy of a SharePoint List

While Atlas comes with a number of pre-configured lists that should not be modified such as External Insights and Spotlights, it is also possible to create your own custom lists. If you already have a list configured in any workspace in Microsoft 365 you can very easily create a copy in an Atlas workspace.

This could be particularly useful if you need to add an existing custom list to a ConneX Studio template so it can be automatically replicated whenever you use that template.

1. Go to the workspace where you want to add the list
2. Go to Site contents from the cogwheel menu in the top right:
   
3. In the top left of this screen, click New then choose List:
   
4. The Create a list panel will load. Choose From existing list:
   
5. You can now select any M365 Team or workspace to copy a list from. The default selection is the current site. Pick the site containing the list you need from the list on the left, then choose the list you want to copy. For example:
   
6. Click Next, then you'll see another smaller panel. Set the list name (1), set the description if you wish (2), and choose whether or not it should appear in the workspace navigation (3). Once you're done, click Create (4):
   
7. You will be navigated to your new list and you can start to add items, or if this is for a ConneX Studio template, you may choose to leave the list empty.
