Managing Lists & Libraries
In SharePoint, learn how to use views, columns, folders, and metadata to organize libraries and Microsoft Lists in the best way for your organization.
About This Class
This course will cover planning and creating document libraries and Microsoft Lists, two of the most important components of a SharePoint site. The module will start with the basics of planning and choosing the right template for a list or library.
Learn about using metadata to improve modern list & library navigation. Go through the steps of creating and utilizing different types of columns, view configuration, and Managed Metadata. Column and view formatting is covered as well, plus demonstrations of how to use conditional formatting.
This course also dives into all of the settings that can be configured for SharePoint lists and libraries. Having an understanding of each of these settings is important in the management of sites and their lists and libraries. This includes Content Approval, Validation, Versioning and much more, as well as examples of each.

I remember all the talk several years ago about flattening the file structure but never really understood how they were going about that.
