With Copilot, you can easily access important documents stored in SharePoint from Dynamics 365 Sales. However, when searching for a specific document in CRM through SharePoint, you may get a flood of irrelevant results, making it frustrating to find the right one.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Copilot can make a difference. By setting up Copilot to search only specific SharePoint folders, you can quickly access the most relevant documents without any irrelevant files.<\/p>\n<p>Here we\u2019ll show you how to configure <strong>Copilot SharePoint Locations<\/strong> to focus on <strong>Specific SharePoint Folders<\/strong> your sales team wants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenario: New Product Launch for the Sales Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s imagine you\u2019re the Sales Operations Manager at a software company preparing for a new product launch. Your sales team needs access to essential documents like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Product Catalogue<\/strong> (with product details, marketing materials, case studies)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pricing Quote<\/strong> (including pricing models, discounts, and offers)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Service Agreement<\/strong> (outlining delivery terms and maintenance)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, by default, Copilot searches all kinds of SharePoint folders that your salesperson has access to. This means, that when a salesperson like Sarah searches for something on SharePoint, she might come across irrelevant files, like internal HR documents or company-wide policies, etc. which is time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid this, you can configure <strong>\u201cThe Copilot SharePoint Locations\u201d <\/strong>to search only the <strong>Product Catalogue<\/strong> and <strong>Pricing Quote<\/strong> folders. This ensures that when Sarah is on a call with a client, she can quickly find the right document without the distractions of unrelated files.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step-by-Step Guide to Set Up Copilot for Specific SharePoint Folders:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before we dive into the setup, make sure you have <strong>SharePoint integrated with Dynamics 365 Sales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Copy the SharePoint Folder URLs<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, you need to gather the URL of that particular SharePoint folder that contains your sales Document:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>SharePoint<\/strong> and go to the <strong>Product Catalogue<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click on the <strong>information icon<\/strong> (i) next to the folder name.<\/li>\n<li>Copy the <strong>Path URL<\/strong> that appears in the details.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat these steps for the <strong>Pricing Quote<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40202\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;
