# [Integrating SharePoint with ArcGIS Experience Builder](https://cartinuum.com/resources/blog/integrating-sharepoint-with-arcgis-experience-builder)

One of the most powerful capabilities of **Connect for ArcGIS** is its ability to integrate ArcGIS with enterprise systems using **standards-based APIs**.

In particular, the support for **OData** provides a flexible way to query and retrieve content from systems such as **SharePoint, Dynamics, SAP, and others**—without custom development or data duplication.

In this post, we walk through how to use Connect for ArcGIS to surface SharePoint documents inside an **ArcGIS Experience Builder** application.

👉 If you prefer to see this in action, a **full video walkthrough of the solution is included below**, demonstrating the end-to-end setup and user experience

## **Example scenario**

In this example, we build an ArcGIS Experience Builder app that allows users to:

The application is driven by a simple but powerful idea:

This creates a **real-time relationship between spatial features and enterprise content**, without moving or copying the data.

## **See the integration in action**

The video below provides a full walkthrough of this scenario, including:

For many users, this is the easiest way to understand how Connect for ArcGIS works in practice—seeing the transition from map selection to document access in real time.

## **Configuring the SharePoint connection**

Configuration is completed through the **Connect for ArcGIS Admin Console** and involves two key steps:

## **SharePoint service root**

For SharePoint, the connection uses the standard API endpoint:

https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site>/_api/web

This enables Connect for ArcGIS to query document libraries directly.

⚠️ Authentication is handled via Microsoft 365, typically requiring a one-time app registration in SharePoint.

## **Defining the relationship with SharePoint**

The relationship between ArcGIS features and SharePoint documents is defined through the Layer Link configuration.

Key elements include:

The result is a **highly targeted, user-friendly view of relevant documents** for each selected feature.

## **Using the widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder**

Once configured, the **Connect for ArcGIS widget** can be added to any Experience Builder application.

This works for both:

From within Experience Builder, you can:

When the app is run in **Live View**, selecting one or more features immediately surfaces the related SharePoint documents, including clickable links.

## **The end result**

The final application delivers:

Most importantly, it demonstrates a scalable pattern for connecting ArcGIS to enterprise systems—one that can be extended beyond SharePoint to other data sources.

## **Final thoughts**

Integrating ArcGIS with SharePoint does not need to involve complex ETL pipelines or custom development.

With Connect for ArcGIS, organisations can:

The video walkthrough above shows just how quickly this can be achieved and how powerful the result can be for end users.

## **Connect don't duplicate | Part 3 of 3**

This article is part of a three-part series on connecting ArcGIS to governed enterprise information without duplicating documents or weakening records management.
