Connector for SharePoint 365 usage in Content Manager

When you deploy the Tridion Connector for SharePoint 365 with Tridion Sites, Content Manager users can access WCM content and assents stored in SharePoint 365 and use it in their websites.

When the Tridion Connector for SharePoint 365 is implemented with Tridion Sites, the Content Manager includes it as a mount point in a Publication's tree structure at the same level as Tridion Sites native content.

Through the Content Manager user interface, editors and other end users do the following actions with external data from
  • List folders and files
  • Select assets to be used on Pages and in Component Links, and so on
  • View asset metadata, including asset size and content type
  • Perform a free text search for assets

The media assets exposed by the Connector for SharePoint 365 can be used in Components and on Pages in the same way as ordinary Tridion Sites assets. When you publish Components or Pages, the selected SharePoint 365 media assets and associated metadata gets included.
