After Equation (17.1.9)
In the text, it says "Then $\Omega_{R/A}^1$ is the kernel of the $R$-algebra...", but it should be $\Omega_{A/R}^1$ instead. Cynthia
p. 7,
Equation (17.1.10)
It should say "$a \mapsto i_2(a)-i_1(a)$". Javier de la Bodega
p. 7,
The sentence before equation (17.1.9)
It is more natural to write "$a_1 \otimes a_2 \mapsto a_1a_2$" instead of "$b_1 \otimes b_2 \mapsto b_1b_2$". Javier de la Bodega
p. 7,
First sentence after Remark 17.5
It should say "an $R$-derivation $d\colon A \to \Omega^1_{A/R}$"; i.e. the superscript 1 is missing. Javier de la Bodega

Exercise 17.9
The curve should be defined by the homogeneous equation $Y^2Z-X^3-aXZ^2-bZ^3$. The definition of $\omega$ should read $\omega = d(x)/y$ where $x = \frac XZ, y=\frac YZ\in K(E)$. U. Görtz

Proposition 18.11
In general, no such global lift $b$ exists. Consider e.g. the case where $f$ is formally smooth but not formally étale: For two distinct global lifts $b_{1}$ and $b_{2}$ of $a_{0}$ take the open cover $U_{1} = U_{2} = T$.
Instead, the conclusion that is actually proved (and used in the sequel) is that under the given assumptions there exists a lift $b\colon T\to X$ (i.e., $b$ makes the diagram (18.0.1) commutative). As explained in the preceding discussion, this means that one can change each $b_i$ by a derivation in $\mathscr G(U_i)$ (with notation as in Lemma 18.9) to obtain a family $b_i'$ of lifts $U_i\to X$ that can be glued.

Replace $h\colon T\to Y$ by $h\colon T\to X$. Yunhao Sun

Prop. 18.55
The statement of the proposition is correct, but the proof is incomplete. In fact, the proof of (i) $\Rightarrow$ (ii) only explains the conclusion for $I$ and $B$ as in the definition of a smooth morphism (cf. the beginning of Section (18.10)).
To prove the statement in general, one should use that the morphism ${\rm Spec}(A)\to {\rm Spec}(R)$, being smooth at $\mathfrak p$, is formally smooth in a neighborhood of $\mathfrak p$ (Theorem 18.56). Then one can invoke Proposition 18.20.

p. 118,
Remark 20.66 (2)
The argument shows only that the property "finite locally" is stable under base change, under composition, under fpqc descent, and is compatible with cofiltered limits with affine transition maps. To ensure that all these permanency properties also hold for etale covers, one also has to note that the property "etale" is also stable under base change and composition (Remark 18.35), under fpqc descent (Remark 18.46), and compatible with cofiltered limits with affine transition maps (Corollary 18.43). T. Wedhorn

Line -9
In the third full paragraph (Then we relate Cech Cohomology to ...), the third sentence should read "... only on $X$ and $\mathscr F$ but not on $\mathcal U$ *by* forming the colimit on all open coverings." where now it says "... on $\mathcal U$ *be* forming the colimit". Gabe O
p. 178,
Line 10
Change "namely $i^{-1}$ and $i^!$" into "namely $i^{-1}$ and $i_!$". Xiaolong Liu

p. 294,
Exercise 22.26
The hint (resp. remark) refer to (b) (resp. (a)). This should be (2) (resp. (1)). T. Wedhorn
p. 307,
Line -3 (statement of Cor. 23.18)
Replace "finite generated" by "finitely generated". Matthieu Romagny
p. 328,

$\Gamma(C,\mathscr O_C)^\times$ should be $\Gamma(X,\mathscr O_X)^\times$. Christian Dahlhausen
p. 524,
Second paragraph of the proof of Proposition 26.25
It says "the classes $z^1, \dots, z^{-r}$ must be", but it should say "the classes $z^{-1}, \dots, z^{-r}$ must be". Javier de la Bodega
p. 524,
First sentence of the proof of Corollary 26.26
It says "a non-constant morphism $f: X \to \mathbb P_1(\mathbb C)$", but it should say "a non-constant morphism $f: X \to \mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)$"; i.e. the 1 of the projective line should be an upper index, and not a lower index. Javier de la Bodega
p. 540,
Line -9

p. 556,
Last sentence of third paragraph, inside the proof of Theorem 26.98

Replace "(AbGrp)" by "(Grp)".

Proof of Lemma 27.36
The phrase "Since the diagonal of $Y$ is representable, so is ${\rm Eq}(h_1,h_2) \to U$ by (9.1.4)." does not make sense. The instance of diagram (9.1.4) one wants to use here has the diagonal of $X \to Y$, i.e., $X\to X\times_YX$, in its right column. This diagonal is representable, see [Stacks] 05L9. Christian Dahlhausen

Definition 27.39
I suggest to add a remark on the compatibility with Definition 8.6 which is ensured by the following statement: [Stacks] 03MJ. Christian Dahlhausen
p. 618,
Remark 27.42
"exist" should be "exists" and "if and only if and for every" without "and". Christian Dahlhausen
p. 618,
Definition 27.38 (2)
It should be "... if and only if $S_i$ has the property $\mathbf P$ for all $i \in I$". Christian Dahlhausen
p. 620,
Defn. 27.46
Add a period at the end of this definition.
p. 621,
Lemma 27.53
What are $X$ and $Y$? According to the proof (use of Lemma 27.52) one might think that they are schemes, but in the proof of Lemma 27.61 the statement is used for algebraic spaces. I suggest to fix the proof of Lemma 27.50 (2) (which I pointed to in another comment) and then state and prove Lemma 27.52 for algebraic spaces. See also [Stacks] 03MJ. Christian Dahlhausen
