How to Duplicate an Existing SharePoint List

Anonymous

Hi,

I’m trying to create a new list in SharePoint by using an existing list from last year as a template. I want to duplicate that list, so I can make necessary edits for the this year while keeping most of the structure and content intact.

Is there a way to easily duplicate a SharePoint list and then make edits where needed? Any guidance or best practices for this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Madhumita
