# Create list in SharePoint

> Create a SharePoint list from site contents across on-premise, Azure, FlowForma Cloud, and Office 365, then add columns and data in quick edit mode.

## Where can you create lists?

You can **create** and **edit lists** from **site contents** in your SharePoint site. The location of your site contents depends on your installation of SharePoint and the location of your site or subsite. Site contents are available for each site or subsite, and you must be a site member with **edit** permission to manage lists.

## SharePoint on premise & SharePoint in the Cloud (Azure or FlowForma Cloud)

To access your site contents, go to your site and select **site contents** from the left navigation, or alternatively select **site contents** from the **site actions menu**.
