SharePoint
SharePoint is Microsoft's platform for intranets, team sites, and document libraries in Microsoft 365, holding policies, templates, contracts, and project documentation across the organization. As libraries grow across departments, employees often spend more time clicking through nested folders and checking version dates than reading the document they actually need.
Connect selected SharePoint sites and folders to an Omnifact Space so your team can ask questions in plain language instead of digging through folder trees. Omnifact imports and indexes the documents you choose, keeps them in sync automatically when files are added, edited, or removed, and cites the exact SharePoint file in every answer so anyone can verify the original. Access is controlled per Space, giving HR, legal, IT, and project teams dedicated assistants scoped to the right audience.

What you can do
Sync specific sites and folders
Connect only the SharePoint team sites, intranet pages, and library folders a Space needs, rather than exposing your entire Microsoft 365 tenant.
Automatic version updates
New, edited, and deleted files in your selected SharePoint folders sync automatically, so answers always reflect the current policy or handbook.
Answers with source citations
Every answer links directly to the SharePoint documents it draws on, so colleagues can open the original file and verify figures or wording.
Synthesize across document libraries
Compare clauses across contracts, pull decisions from meeting minutes, or answer employee questions from multiple guidelines at once.

What to know before
using SharePoint with Omnifact
Use cases, access permissions, data handling, and setup when connecting SharePoint to Omnifact.
What can Omnifact do with SharePoint documents?
Omnifact turns the SharePoint sites and folders you select into the knowledge base of a Space, so your team asks questions in plain language instead of searching document libraries. HR answers employee questions from current guidelines, project leads track decisions across meeting minutes, and IT finds runbooks on internal team sites. Every answer links to the underlying SharePoint files so anyone can verify the source.
How does Omnifact keep SharePoint content up to date?
Omnifact keeps each Space synchronized with the SharePoint folders and sites you selected. Newly added documents are imported, edited files are re-indexed, and deleted files are removed automatically without manual re-uploads. When a policy, contract template, or handbook changes in SharePoint, Omnifact answers from the updated version and links to the original file.
Which SharePoint file types does Omnifact support?
Omnifact reads PDF, Word, PowerPoint, OpenDocument text and presentations, plain text, Markdown, CSV, and JSON files from SharePoint, up to 500 MB per file. That covers the handbooks, policies, contracts, slide decks, and data exports most organizations keep in SharePoint libraries. For Excel workbooks, export key tables as CSV so Omnifact can include them.
Which SharePoint sites and folders can Omnifact use?
Omnifact uses the specific team sites, intranet pages, and document library folders you select for each Space. You scope each Space to what its audience needs, such as the HR policy library for an employee self-service Space or a client folder for a project team, rather than connecting your entire Microsoft 365 environment at once.
Who can see SharePoint documents in an Omnifact Space?
Only the members of that Space. Everyone granted access to a Space can query the SharePoint documents synced into it and view their citations. Because Omnifact controls access through Space membership rather than mirroring individual SharePoint file permissions, you should sync folders intended for all members of that Space and create separate Spaces for restricted material.
Where does Omnifact store SharePoint documents?
Synced SharePoint documents are stored and indexed inside the chosen Space in Omnifact so answers return quickly with exact citations. Your original files remain in SharePoint under your Microsoft agreement. Omnifact is operated in Germany, business data is never used to train AI models, and admins can restrict Spaces to European or Europe-hosted models.
How do I connect SharePoint to Omnifact?
An Omnifact admin enables SharePoint once for the organization. You then connect your Microsoft 365 account under App Connections in your account settings, and a Space admin selects the SharePoint sites and folders for each Space. If your Microsoft Entra ID requires admin consent, your IT administrator approves Omnifact once for the tenant.
