List Synchronization Feature


This section details the functionality of list synchronization with SharePoint. User can synchronize the teams/yammer community/SharePoint Site/Communication Sites/Planners created in Teams Manager to SharePoint Site and vice versa.  This will synchronize the metadata fields available too.


After providing permissions for synchronization, all the existing Teams and other content types records are synchronized and are displayed under Lists in SharePoint.


Important point to note during List Synchronization is when Teams or any other content types are added from SharePoint List, it gets synchronized to the Teams Manager as well. But, if the Templates/Metadata fields/Teams or any other content types are deleted from SharePoint List, it doesn't delete the record in Teams Manager.


This section describes the steps for synchronization when records are added.


Go to Settings-Expert Mode and click on SharePoint Content under Information-navigate to tab Synchronize with SharePoint list.


Provide required permissions and create list and perform synchronization with steps as mentioned in Synchronize with SharePoint List
