SharePoint: Enable/Disable RSS Feed Option For List

In this article, I would like to share the steps for how to Enable/Disable the RSS feed option and update the RSS settings for SharePoint List. In a previous article, we saw What is RSS and how to add the RSS web part in SharePoint Site.

Overview of RSS

  • Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is used for transmitting information across the internet and intranets
  • We can display the information from external sites by adding the RSS feed web part in the SharePoint page
  • We can use the RSS feed web part to show the news, weather etc.

In SharePoint, every list has the RSS option but some of us want to hide the RSS option and update the settings for a particular list, here is the solution to hide the RSS option for SP list.
