Data Transfer from Classic to Modern SharePoint list

Question

Hi All,

Looking for feedback/Best practice recommendation from the community. We have a large list of announcements list in classic SharePoint list. We are converting everything to modern SharePoint. What is the best way to migrate the entire list to Modern list and give it the modern look and feel with pictures etc.

Thanks, AJ

Hi @Ajay Mandal ,

As an addition to TKujala.

1. Please go to your list > List setting > Click on “Advanced Settings”
2. Scroll down to the bottom, and from the “List experience” section, Select the “New experience” option and hit OK.
   
   This changes the list UI to the new experience in SharePoint Online.
   Classic list:
   
   Modern list:
