What is the difference between list and library in sharepoint?

Lists: • Can have attachments • Have major versions only • Do not have Check-in/Check-out features Libraries: • Cannot have attachments (files are directly in the library) • Have both minor (draft) and major (published) versioning • Have Check-in/Check-Out • Publishing Libraries can use Page Layouts • Have Unique Document Ids out of the box
