Hide SharePoint list from Site Contents

Summary

If you need to hide the SharePoint list from the UI this simple PowerShell script will hide a specific list from the site contents. This will prevent users from easily accessing the list while, for example, you are still setting it up.

$listName = "listName"
$site = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/"

m365 login
$list = m365 spo list get --webUrl $site -t $listName -o json | ConvertFrom-Json
m365 spo list set --webUrl $site -i $list.Id -t $listName --hidden true

# requires jq: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

listName="listName"
site=https://contoso.sharepoint.com/

m365 login
listId=$(m365 spo list get --webUrl $site -t "$listName" -o json | jq ".Id")
m365 spo list set --webUrl $site -i $listId -t $listName --hidden true
