Adding shared documents (word etc.) to content in ExpB

Hi, I want to be able to see a PDF, Excel, Word etc. when clicking an object in Experience builder.

Ideally I want it from sharepoint, but I've also tested with OneDrive and Google Drive. It get's from getting outside of experience builder.

I had a similar setup with the old Operation Dashboards, where, clicking a feature opened up a Sharepoint projects folders, or even Excel files, directly inside of Operation Dashboard. I'm not sure if I forgot what I did or if the possibility changed with JavaScript 4.x, or if Microsoft changed something. Or if this company simply has a more strict setup.

Ideally you'll create files, where the file name is equal to an attribute in the object. The you use the long sharing code in an embed widget, where the URL then updates from the sharing code and the attribute.

Any ideas on that, is that a dead end now?

I think you should be able to do this with the Embed Widget in Experience Builder. You may need to make your documents fully publicly accessible.

Thanks Jeffrey,

Full public available is not an option. With my old setup, it loaded the Microsoft login page through AD.
My company don't allow full public documents. So I tested with my personal Google drive, allowing anyone with the link to access, but that also get's blocked from within experience builder.
