After creating a list, you’ll want to populate that list with the
information for which it was designed. Each row in your SharePoint 2013
list is called a list item.
SharePoint can support up to 30 million items in one SharePoint list!
Depending on your permission level, you can create, edit, and delete
items.
You can also attach documents or items to a list item. For instance,
it would be practical to attach a menu to a restaurant list or an
agenda to a calendar item. By default, SharePoint supports including
attachments to list items; however, you can turn off this feature on
the Settings page for the list, if you’d like.

On the list’s Edit page, click with the mouse or use the Tab key to
