Move a SharePoint list to another site

Hi everyone,

 

I have a SharePoint List and I want to move it to another site. How do I do this?

 

Hope someone can help 🙂

    I think you could export the source list as Excel. Then in the destination site, go to site contents, click the '+ New' button and choose 'App'. There you will find the 'Import Spreadsheet' app.

      Further to Jais_Holstein's reply.

       

      From Excel you can export to a new SharePoint list. Not many browsers are supporting the required Active-X controls needed for the "Import a spreadsheet" app.

       

      See the SP Usage Doc: Importing data into SharePoint for more info.

       

      I hope this helps.

  • There are several ways to do this. For instance:
    1) Using PnP Remote Provisioning, you could extract your list definition and event the data and them provision at the destination site
    2) Using a migration tool such as Sharegate that easily allows to copy any SharePoint object between sites
