# SharePoint
Microsoft SharePoint is an enterprise content management and collaboration platform integrated with Microsoft 365. Connecting SharePoint to Harmony enables your AI agents to search organizational documents, retrieve policies and procedures, and provide intelligent support responses based on your company's knowledge base.
Once connected, Harmony automatically fetches and indexes content from your selected SharePoint sites, keeping everything in sync on a recurring schedule so your agents always have up-to-date information.
### What the SharePoint integration enables
| Capability | Description |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Document Search | Search across SharePoint sites, libraries, and lists |
| File Access | Retrieve and share documents during support interactions |
| Knowledge Base | Power AI responses with SharePoint content |
| Automatic Syncing | Documents are collected and kept in sync automatically on a recurring schedule |
| Selective Site Control | Choose exactly which sites to include - only explicitly selected sites are synced |
### Prerequisites
* **Microsoft 365 Admin Access**: Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator role
* **SharePoint Sites**: Sites and document libraries to integrate
* **Harmony Account**: Active Harmony workspace
### Connect SharePoint to Harmony
#### Step 1: Navigate to Integrations
1. Log in to your Harmony dashboard
2. Go to **Settings** > **Integrations**
3. Find **SharePoint** under **Knowledge Base** and click **Connect**
#### Step 2: Start Authentication
1. Click **Connect** to start the authentication process
#### Step 3: Authorize in Microsoft
1. You'll be redirected to Microsoft's authorization page
2. Review the permissions requested:
* Read files in all site collections
* Read items in all site collections
* Read all users' full profiles
* Sign in and read user profile
3. Click **Accept** to authorize Harmony
#### Step 4: Select Sites to Sync
After authorizing, an OAuth-based site picker lets you choose exactly which SharePoint sites to include in your knowledge base.
* **Filtered view**: Internal Microsoft 365 content storage containers - such as Designer, Pages, and My Workspace - are automatically hidden from the site picker, so you only see your real SharePoint sites.
* **Full control**: Only the sites you explicitly select will be synced. No content is pulled in without your approval.
* **Performance at scale**: The site list loads significantly faster even for large tenants. Organizations with 500 sites will see roughly 80% fewer network requests during site selection, while those with 5,000 sites will see nearly 90% fewer - meaning less waiting when setting up or managing your integration in large enterprise environments.
### What Harmony Syncs
**From SharePoint:**
* Document content from PDFs, Word documents (.docx), PowerPoint files, and Excel files
* Page text content from SharePoint pages
* Document metadata and properties
* Site structure and library organization
* File URLs and direct links
* Tags, categories, and managed metadata
* SharePoint list items (if configured)
Content from your selected sites is ingested into your knowledge base and kept in sync automatically on a recurring schedule, so your agents always reflect the latest information from SharePoint.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.harmony.io/integrations/knowledge-base/sharepoint.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
