Microsoft will soon (“early summer”) be rolling out a new app called “Lists”. (Not to be confused with the existing To Do app). Microsoft Lists is designed to be the next evolution of SharePoint Lists to help you track issues and organize information in a way that is integrated for working across Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook. As you can see in the video, this looks promising and I’m eager to give it a try.
