In this article, I am going to solve the below issue

Missing Discussion Board list in SharePoint

---

Scenario

In a SharePoint publishing site, I can’t find the Discussion board list or Announcement list.

---

Cause

The discussion board list or the announcement list are only listed if the Team Collaboration lists feature is activated.

By default, in the SharePoint Publishing site.the Team Collaboration lists feature is not activated. so you can’t find these type of lists.

Solution

Activate Team Collaboration lists feature

• Open the SharePoint site > Site Settings.

• Below “Site Action” > Select “Manage Site Features“.

• Find the “Team Collaboration lists” feature > Click Activate.
  

• Go back to Add App.
  

• The discussion board and other Team site lists like Announcements and Links should be listed as shown below,
