Create New List from Existing List - Cannot see other Other Sites

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a new SP list from an existing list (on another SP site). The "Select a Team or site" under the select an existing list option is only showing me the current SP site and none of the other SP sites.

 

Can you please assist as to how can i see the other SP sites. I need to create a copy of multiple lists onto the new site.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem seeing the other site lists that I have created and it is really difficult to recreate the same list over an over again instead of using one as template.

    Any updates?

      Hi, I found the solution for it. Open the Site Contents page of the SharePoint site (site X) that has the existing lists. On the top right side, you'll see an option to follow the site with a star. select this option.

       

      Once done, now if you go to a new SP site and click on create list from existing list, you'll be able to see the  lists from site X.
