List templates in Microsoft 365

Microsoft Lists help you organize, collaborate, and share the information you care about.

You can create and share lists that help you track issues, assets, routines, contacts, inventory, and more. Start from the Microsoft Lists app, Microsoft Teams, or SharePoint using a template, Excel file, or from scratch.

This article discusses the list templates that are included with Microsoft 365. Find out how to create a list from a template.

List templates

Templates help you create lists using pre-configured layouts that include columns, color formatting, and data structure. You can customize each list to fit your situation by changing the formatting to highlight important data, configuring forms to see more at a glance, and setting reminders to keep you and your team up to date on what’s happening.

​​​​Once you create a list based on a Microsoft Lists template, you have options for customizing it to meet your organization's specific needs. Learn more about editing lists, customizing the columns, and changing the column order. To learn more about list items, see Add, edit, or delete list items.
