With this feature, you can simply upload or update a PowerPoint file in a connected SharePoint folder, and the system will automatically sync, convert, and publish the updated slides to your NoviSign playlists—no manual uploads, no technical setup, and no extra steps.
SharePoint Integration
Overview
How It Works
- Upload (or replace) a PowerPoint (.PPTX) file in your designated SharePoint folder.

- Animations and transitions are not supported and will not appear in the final display.
- You can optionally set slide duration and scheduling when uploading the file to SharePoint.

These items must be completed on your side; NoviSign cannot perform them.
Your Azure App Registration must be configured with the correct Application and Delegated permissions.

| Microsoft Graph | Sites.Read.All | Read all SharePoint site collections |
| SharePoint | Sites.Read.All | Read items in all site collections |
Your Azure admin must confirm these permissions show:
Granted for <Your Organization>

| API | Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Graph | User.Read | Sign in and read the user profile |

All delegated permissions must be listed and enabled.
Items to Verify Prior to Enabling the Integration
Your Azure App Registration must show:
- All required permissions listed

If any permission is missing or not approved, the SharePoint–PowerPoint integration will not function.
