Creating SharePoint Online lists from templates
As part of the changes for Microsoft Lists, there’s been a refresh on how you create new lists in SharePoint Online.

The Org Chart Web Part in SharePoint Online
One thing I see frequently in department web sites is some sort of organization chart so that people know who the boss is and who all reports to them.
