To get the most out of this book

The Microsoft 365 platform, which Microsoft Lists is a part of, is constantly changing and growing. Microsoft does not add new features and functionalities on a predefined schedule, such as every 6 months, but rather provides these improvements in a very fast-paced manner. Therefore, when you look at Microsoft Lists today, it may look and behave slightly differently compared to yesterday, as new changes may have been published.

For this book, this means that the content presented here is correct at the time of writing, but we expect things to change. To give you an example, the Microsoft Lists menu through which you can access Power Automate flows was changed during the writing of Chapter 9, Integrating Microsoft Lists within with the Power Platform. While it is a relatively small change, where the corresponding menu items are now located within the Integrate section instead of Automate, this also meant that we had to update several text and image references.

If your version of Microsoft Lists looks and behaves slightly differently from what is described in this book, it is most likely due to the constantly evolving nature of Microsoft Lists. If you are interested in seeing recently published changes, as well as what Microsoft is currently working on, please visit https://roadmap.office.com to see the public roadmap for all of Microsoft 365. You can search for microsoft lists to see only those roadmap items that are related to Microsoft Lists.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
