SharePoint list in Document library folder

[Katie_Collins]

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.

In this case I have multiple lists, but I don't want multiple lists in the navigation pane on the home SharePoint page. 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.

I would still need to create the list on the home page which would then appear in my navigation on the home page which is what I'm trying to avoid.

@Katie_Collins sorry, you've lost me. Why not just remove items from the navigation? A screenshot of what you have at the moment (and therefore what you want to avoid) might help me understand it a bit better.

I am not able to provide a screenshot due to data privacy concerns. If I remove the list from the navigation panel, I believe this would cause my power automate flow to fail. It seems that what I'm trying to achieve isn't possible the way my team wants it set up.

@Katie_Collins removing a list from the navigation in SharePoint will have absolutely no effect on any flows in Power Automate. They would only be affected if you deleted the list itself.

Ok, I was worried that removing the list from navigation bar would mess with the connect but this worked for me. Thank you!
