| Mustafa Usmani

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.
