New Lists is Affinity’s rebuilt Lists experience, and it’s becoming your default. If you’ve been working in Classic Lists, here’s what’s new — and where to pick up each capability.

What’s better in New Lists

  • Faster performance — quicker loading and smoother scrolling, especially on large lists.
  • Advanced filtering — combine conditions with AND/OR logic, use advanced operators, and group filters (Classic filtered one condition at a time).
  • Multi-level sorting — sort by up to 5 fields at once.
  • Smarter saved views — views preserve your filters, sorts, and columns together, with view variants that stay compatible with Classic for teammates still on it.
  • Faster editing — one-click cell editing, keyboard navigation, and copy/paste.
  • Field & option management — create and manage fields, including dropdown, ranked dropdown, and status options, right from the column header.
  • Create entities inline — add a company, person, or opportunity straight from a cell or a board card, without leaving the list.
  • Export to CSV.
  • Board (Kanban) view — drag cards between columns, reorder card fields, and group by status or another dropdown field.

A few things aren’t in New Lists yet

Some lower-usage Classic features are still on the way — bulk actions, inline filtering from a column header, inline dropdown/status option creation, and creating or editing triggers. Each has a workaround, and you can switch a list back to Classic anytime. See what’s not yet supported and Switching between New and Classic Lists. New Lists is rolling out in stages — you’ll be notified as it becomes your default.
