Adding Columns in SharePoint List

Access the Blank List screen and click on "Add column" to initiate the process of adding a new column.
Choose the desired column type, such as "Location" or "Choice," from the available options and click "Next."
The column settings panel appears, which varies based on the selected column type, requiring specific settings.
Fill in the necessary fields for the column settings; for instance, add a column name and, for a "Choice" column, specify multiple choices (e.g., three choices).
Click "Save" to finalize the creation of the new column, which will then be visible in the list.

Renaming Columns

To rename the default "Title" column, click on the column header in the Blank List screen.
Hover over "Column settings" and select "Rename" to open the renaming options.
Input the new name in the Renaming screen and click "Save" to confirm the changes.
