A SharePoint list is a collection of data that is stored in a SharePoint site and can be easily accessed, managed, and edited by multiple users. Lists can be used to store various types of information such as contacts, tasks, calendar events, and more. SharePoint lists are similar to tables in a database and can be customized to fit specific needs. They can also be linked to other lists and libraries and can be integrated with other features of SharePoint such as workflow and alerts
