Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) Office Online Connector lets you create, edit, and review Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents stored in CMP Tasks or Library, directly within the CMP interface.
Enable the integration with Microsoft 365
Note
Microsoft requires a Business or Enterprise account for Microsoft 365 to use its functionality. You can connect to Microsoft services when enabled in your account by supplying credentials on the Microsoft login page.
To enable your account's integration, you must be a CMP user with Administrative privileges. When the service is enabled, other users can use the features.
- Select your avatar > Integrations. The Integration Catalog page displays.
- Enter office in the search box and select Microsoft Office 365. The About page for Microsoft Office 365 displays.
- Click Connect Now. Your users can see Microsoft services when working in Tasks.
Note
The Connect Now button toggles to Disconnect so you can enable or disable the integration.
After enabling the productivity connector for Microsoft 365, you have additional options to create Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file formats when you create files. You also have other options for launching the edit experience for the same file types anywhere in CMP where editing files is allowed. A Microsoft login prompt displays to use the service.
Create files in a task with Microsoft 365 tools
In a task, select Add Content > Creative assets and select the Microsoft option you want. The first time you do this, you must log in with Microsoft.
Microsoft-formatted files have an Edit in... link to use the Microsoft editor.
Note
The @mention support is currently unavailable. You can use the task step assignments or task comments to alert other users.
Also, Microsoft reserves the right to add or remove features within this experience that may alter its use.
CMP helps you keep track of how your files develop. Accessing this page will show each version of your file on the left bar, letting you go between versions and roll back to previous versions if required. See Manage asset versions.
