Office 365 – SharePoint – The new List look and feel

A lot of changes have been happening in Office 365/SharePoint Online recently. Followers of my blog will already have read the articles:

Now that the new lists have arrived I thought I better make this series complete the a new complete overview about the latest new features is here.

Lists however seem to be more complicated than libraries. So there may still be a few more posts to follow. As I’m writing this blog post I realised that Flow and PowerApps deserve their own posts.

When you visit a new look list for the first time you get the introduction screens again:

The first new options is now to create new Flows in a SharePoint list.

When creating a new flow a number of predefined flows is presented to

the user. I selected the When an existing list item is modified, complete a custom action

Then when I connect I get the following Failed to save claims error:

Create an App

Next to the Flow option in the new look lists you can find PowerApps.

Again, I tried this straight away:
