Existing Sharepoint list to replicate


I am working for a company that has several sites. The two sites use different IT systems. I have a sharepoint list from company A that I need to replicate in company B. The list was done by someone else so I am not familiar with all the functionalities it might have.

I am a very new user of sharepoint when it comes to creating lists. I have a couple of questions:

  1. On the existing list of company A, what checks would you perform to know all the customization the list has. (JSON or Calculated fields and so on) with a view of duplicating them in company B.
  2. Is it possible to somehow download this list with all its customised columns from company A and upload it in company B? (I suspect no but thought to ask the experts)

Solution

  • If you are trying to create a new list based on existing list in same SharePoint tenant, you can create a list from existing list like:

    If you are trying to create a new list based on existing list in different SharePoint tenant, try using PnP Provisioning engine and PnP PowerShell for exporting the list/site templates and use those in new SharePoint tenant.

    Check these documentations:
