## 6. Connect a Sharepoint Site as Knowledge Base

1. To connect a site to a knowledge base and use it with a bot, follow the instructions in [Connect a Sharepoint Site as Knowledge Base](/for-admins/classic-microsoft-integrations/create-a-sharepoint-connection/connect-a-sharepoint-site-as-knowledge-base.md)

## Best Practices & Troubleshooting <a href="#id-5.-best-practices-and-troubleshooting" id="id-5.-best-practices-and-troubleshooting"></a>

* **Credentials Accuracy**\
  Double‑check **`Client ID`**, **`Client Secret Key`**, and **`Tenant ID`** against your Azure AD app.
* **URL Format**\
  Ensure each URL begins with **`https://`** and follows **`/sites/<site-name>`**.
* **API Permissions**\
  Confirm the Azure AD app has been granted and consented for the required Graph scopes.
* **Scaling Up**\
  If you need to onboard many sites at once, consider the **Site Discovery** method with Admin Key.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockbrain.ai/for-admins/classic-microsoft-integrations/create-a-sharepoint-connection/sharepoint-manual-site-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
