There is a lot of confusion about “Add an App for SharePoint” and Creating a new Conventional Custom List.Its the same thing! Last week one of my colleagues asked me that how do they create a new Custom List in SharePoint 2013. I replied Simply select “Add an App” in “View all Site Content” or in the Settings menu.He immediately popped another question about how to then create a List form a List Template.The answer is simple again using “Add an App”.A lot of new users has this confusion so I am writing this post about how to Create a new List from a List Template (Custom List template and User Saved list template)

How to Create a new List using “Custom List Template ” or “a manually saved List Template” in SharePoint 2013 –

Quick Steps –
1. Navigate to Site and Click on “Settings” wheel.Click on “Add an app” or go to “View All site Content” and then click “Add an App”.


or

   

Select “Custom List” from the “Your Apps” page.



Give the name of the List in the Popup and click Create.



and here is the new list in the Site Contents page



Next we will look at how to Create list from List Template
Save List as Template
So lets see how to save a list as a Template.Navigate to the List and under “List” tab in Ribbon click “List settings”.



I have a “New Custom List” which we will save as a Template.



Next it will take you to Confirmation page with a link to List Template Gallery.You can verify if the template is in the list template gallery but not required.



Once this is done go back to the Step 1 of “Add an App” or go to “View all site content” where you will find this new template.Click the Template and give it a name to create a list out of it.
