The SharePoint Online connector will crawl content from any SharePoint Online site collection URL. The connector will retrieve Sites, Lists, Folders, List Items and Attachments, as well as other pages (in .aspx format). This connector supports SharePoint running in the Microsoft 365 offering.

The File System supports crawling the following the repositories
Repository | Version | Connector Version |
---|---|---|
SharePoint | Microsoft 365 | 5.0 |
The connector offers two authentication options to access the SharePoint REST API: user account or Azure AD application.
To configure a user crawl account use the following GUIDE.
