Setup

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Excel (Microsoft 365) → Connect.
  2. Authorise with an account that has access to everything you want to make available. For knowledge sources, use an admin or service account; permissions are still enforced per user at query time.
  3. Add Excel (Microsoft 365) as a source under Knowledge → (knowledge base) → Add source and choose the scope to include.

What is synced

Content from the scope you select, with its metadata (author, dates, location) and the access rights defined in Excel (Microsoft 365). Changes are picked up by change notifications where Excel (Microsoft 365) supports them, otherwise on the schedule you set (15 minutes to daily). Deletions and permission changes are applied on the next sync.

Permissions

Access rights in Excel (Microsoft 365) are mapped to workspace users (by email) and groups. A user can only retrieve items they could open in Excel (Microsoft 365) itself. See Permissions & access control.
