Difference between SharePoint list and library

In SharePoint, list and library are the two most important key factors. SharePoint beginner, end user, administrator used these factors to build SharePoint application accruing their roles. Still surprisingly questions you get from new SharePoint users is on the topic of what is difference between SharePoint lists and libraries.

Document library we can upload document which get stored in content database. Library have one and exactly one file associated with each item.

In List we can store items/contents also files are directly store into library.

A list contains items which are the collections of fields.

List does not have Check in, Check out features but library have the Check in and Checked Out features.

List support the major version of files and folders but in document library support the major and minor version of files and folders.


Happy reading :-)
