SharePoint Online List/Library Interface Changes

Posted by ITS on September 8, 2017 in General Announcements

Dalhousie's SharePoint Online system (part of Office 365) is getting a new look for its lists and libraries.

On October 11, the SharePoint Online interface will switch from the classic (current) experience to a newer, more modern interface for lists and libraries.

The new experience includes the following improved features:

  • A more streamlined appearance
  • Easier data/document filtering
  • Better integration with other Office 365 features
  • Similarity to OneDrive functionality
  • Easier to edit lists (add columns, views, etc.)
  • More mobile friendly

Read more about the new interface, as well as instructions for testing it out, on the SharePoint Information myDal site:

SharePoint site owner information and training sessions for the new interface will be held this fall. Sign up for the SharePoint Users Yammer group to receive session date and time notifications.

If you have any questions about the new interface, please visit the SharePoint Information myDal site (link provided above) and click the Contact Us link in the left-side menu.
