Microsoft supports SharePoint document management integration with Dataverse that enables us to extend the capabilities of SharePoint within Dataverse. Users can see their related SharePoint Documents in the Model-Driven apps and Power Portals now supports creating and displaying documents to and from SharePoint directly embedded in a form or advanced form in a portal.
To enable SharePoint Document Management within specific entities of the Dataverse, let’s see the steps that are required to do that.
- Make sure you are the System Administrator of the environment of the PowerApps and SharePoint.
- Go to the Admin Center of the PowerApps and select your environment.
- Now select Settings.
