How to Find the GUID of a SharePoint List

When you are working with SharePoint Lists, sometime you may need to get the ID (Guid) of a list.
For example, when setting the Task list to be used with SharePoint Designer Workflows.

Follow this steps:

1. Go to the SharePoint List which you need to get ID.
2. Select the Settings > List Settings menu option.
3. Copy the entire URL from the browser address bar and paste into the notepad. It should looks like this:

http://spdevsite:8585/sites/admin/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=%7BEF97CD69%2D7D68%2D421F%2DA5CA%2D69768D83B328%7D

*        Delete all before and including “List=”.

*        Replace “%7B” with “{”

*        Replace all “%2D” with “-“

*        Replace “%7D” with “}”

Now you have left with the GUID you need:

{EF97CD69-7D68-421F-A5CA-69768D83B328}
