In this article, I have explained how to save a SharePoint list as a template with or with out content to another SharePoint site.
Open a SharePoint team site or a publishing site Navigate to add an app. Click “Custom List” to add. Click Create. Here, I have added one more column for filling up some data. Now, I am going to add some content in this SharePoint list. Now, I am going to save the list as a template. Click the list-> list settings. Click save list as a template. Provide the filename and the template name. If you need this list with the contents → Check include content. Click OK. Now, open the list template gallery under the site settings.Download the .stp file we created as a list template. Hence, I have now created one more site collection. Click the site settings → navigate to the Web Designer Galleries → Click List template. Click Files tab in a top ribbon → Click Upload. Upload the .stp file that we already downloaded from some other site collection. Navigate to add an app → Click CityDetailsList template to create. Click create. Now, the list has been moved from one site collection to the another site collection with the content.
