Integrating Microsoft SharePoint with Athena allows enterprises to efficiently manage and access a wide range of documents and data stored within their SharePoint sites directly within Athena. This powerful integration enables Athena to interact with your organization’s SharePoint content, providing seamless access to important files such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, and plaintext files.

​
What You Can Do with Sharepoint Integration

Once connected, Athena can:
  • Search and retrieve documents from your SharePoint sites
  • Access and analyze files stored in SharePoint libraries
  • Answer questions based on SharePoint document content
  • Provide insights from your organization’s SharePoint data
  • Collaborate on SharePoint files within the Athena workspace
Note that the same permissions defined on your SharePoint site apply to the Athena SharePoint integration.
