SharePoint Integration

Flare supports integration with Microsoft SharePoint, including SharePoint Online (or SharePoint 365). From Flare you can access, edit, and synchronize SharePoint files.

SharePoint is like a scaled-down version of a source control tool, with the ability to check out and check in files. Many organizations use a source control tool to manage files that are part of products and will be shipped to customers, while using SharePoint mostly for internal files to be shared among colleagues. For more information see www.sharepoint.microsoft.com.

Example You need several people—such as subject matter experts, managers, or peers—to review your topics. You can always email review packages to those individuals, but an alternative is to upload the review package to a SharePoint server. Each reviewer can check out the package, make their comments, and check the file back in. You can then bring the review package back into your project, integrating the updated topics into your project.

Note Due to limitations with Microsoft, you might experience an error when publishing output to a SharePoint server. If this occurs, please consult your SharePoint administrator.
