Explore multiple ways to edit a SharePoint list item, from opening the item to quick edit, selecting it, or using the ellipses menus, and save your changes.

Open the recycle bin from quick launch or site contents, select the item, and restore it to its original location; if emptied, use the second stage recycle bin for recovery.

Discover content approval in a discussion board: submit items, keep them pending until approved by someone with proper rights, then they become visible.

Track past versions of a list item with version history to see when changes were made and who made them. Restore prior versions as needed in the modern list interface.

Learn to create and customize list views in classic and modern SharePoint interfaces, including public and personal views, starting from existing views, and using sorting, filtering, and metadata.

Explore how libraries serve as a central repository for Office documents and other files in SharePoint, with metadata, collaboration, and document management tools that enhance file-based workflows.
