SharePoint List View Web Part Overview
The SharePoint List View Modern Web Part is the newest solution for rendering list data directly on a site page or news article. This web part is currently in preview and additional functional and support is constantly getting added.
The Web Part allows users to directly engage with list data within a page by adding, editing, deleting, filtering, sorting, and more. By supporting views, we can target specific subsets of data and show limited subsets of columns to consumers.
We see limits for the types of lists that are able to appear in this web part. Yet, is still a powerful tool for authors to surface dynamic content driven from a list. It is important however, to choose data sources that are accessible to everyone who can view this web part.
