How To: Find hidden lists in SharePoint using SP Designer
Hello All, Good Morning :)
Yesterday while working on an issue I came across a situation where I misplaced URL's of some hidden lists which were shared with us in our SharePoint site collection and I really wanted to access the list to get some details.
I started looking for some PowerShell script to find hidden lists however couldn't find a good script online.
After sometime I thought of opening the site in SharePoint Designer and see if the lists can be found there.
So when I opened SP Designer and clicked on Lists and Libraries under Navigation - Site Objects hoping that the list should be seen here, however it wasn't available there as well.
Here is how I was able to found that list:
1. Open your SharePoint site in SP Designer
2. Under Navigation - Click All Files
3. Under All Files you will see a folder called "Lists"
4. In this folder you will see all your lists which are hidden to all users (Administrators as well).
In order to grab URL of those lists, right click on the list name - select Properties, On the Properties page under List Information there will be Web Address just click on that and it will open up the list in your Web Browser... :)
