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