SharePoint list in Document library folder
Hello!
I have set up a power automate flow to gather information from another teams SharePoint excel document to my teams SharePoint list for easier access. I will be doing the same with other SharePoint excel documents, but I am looking for a way to place these lists in one document library this way I have all the lists in one place instead of having multiple lists in our navigation pane. From what I have read and understand this is not possible to do, but I am hoping someone has a workaround. Any help is appreciated.

Katie_Collins you're right this is not possible. Lists and document libraries are fundamentally different things. You can't put lists in a document library and it wouldn't be logical to do so.

My organization would've looked like this: Documents > Mapping > and then each SharePoint list is in its own folder with the source name.
Katie_Collins you are still facing the basic problem that lists can't be put in document libraries. The closest you can get to it is that when you are in your document library click the +New button then select Link.
In the pane that appears paste in the address of the list. Then when the user is in the document library they just click the item and it opens the list.
