SharePoint List News app

Show items from a custom SharePoint list as a news carousel. Use this when your announcements don't live in the built-in News web part but in a list you've built yourself.

Creating a SharePoint List News app

1. Go to Content > New > App and search for the SharePoint List News app.
2. Click the app to start creating a new app.
3. Enter an app name.
4. Click Connect account and sign in with a Microsoft account that can read the SharePoint site. This creates a Microsoft connection in your workspace.
5. Pick the Site and then the List inside that site.
6. Tell the app which list columns to use:
   • Title field — defaults to Title.
   • Content field — defaults to Body.
7. Tweak rotation and styling.
8. Click Create app.

Column names are case-sensitive

SharePoint's internal column name may differ from the display name you see in the UI. If posts look empty, check the list's column settings and use the internal name (often shown with spaces_replaced_with_x0020_).
