Prerequisites & Permissions
- Only Accord admins can add or modify content in the Resource Library. Check your permissions before following the setup instructions below.
The Resource Library & Google Drive
The SharePoint integration is most frequently used to is to manage content in the Resource Library. It allows you to easily add Files and Folders from SharePoint to the Resource Library, and ensure they are synched.
When a Resource is linked from SharePoint to Accord's Resource Library you will see a green icon indicating that it is a connected resource.

In addition, on the Resource page itself, you'll see a synched from SharePoint indicator, and the last time the file was updated (note: the image below displays Google Drive, but the UI is the same). This will be modified each time the file or folder is updated.

Any changes made to SharePoint files or folders are automatically synched every 24 hours. You can force these files to update faster by selecting the Refresh option in the Resource Library.
