• Preview on list formatting demo site template – as an alternative to going to GitHub to pull samples, the Community team is experimenting with an additional layout option – List Formatting Sample Showcase pages that display fully functional samples Power Users can manipulate, drill in to view/customize data, and get additional details in GitHub - from within a browser!   You may even adopt this formatting in your own tenant.  Available soon.
