This video features a lightning talk by Steve from Microsoft regarding the integration of SharePoint Embedded (SPE) with Power Platform connectors. The presentation provides an overview of SharePoint Embedded as a foundational platform for custom applications and demonstrates how to leverage its newly generally available (GA) first-party connectors within Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio.
Core Concepts of SharePoint Embedded

Graph-Only Interface: SharePoint Embedded is a graph-only interface, meaning it has no native user interface for navigation. It is designed to be used within custom applications (such as those built with React, C#, or Java) where the application developer manages the user experience.

Scalability and Storage: Each container within SharePoint Embedded can store up to 30 million documents and 25 terabytes of data. It supports files up to 250 gigabytes and includes standard enterprise content management features like a recycle bin, metadata, and search.

Compliance and Collaboration: SPE supports real-time co-authoring and full office collaboration. It also integrates with Microsoft Purview, allowing organizations to apply sensitivity labels and compliance configurations to documents stored within these isolated containers.

Power Platform Integration
First-Party Connectors: There are 47 connectors available for SharePoint Embedded that facilitate standard CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, and Delete). Because these are first-party connectors, there is no additional charge for the connector itself; instead, billing is based on a pay-as-you-go model covering storage and API calls.

Security and Context: All operations run within the context of the user, ensuring that security parameters and access permissions are respected.
AI and Automation: The video demonstrates how Copilot Studio can be used to build agents that interact with SPE. In one demo, an agent in Microsoft Teams accepts an invoice from a vendor, extracts metadata using AI models, and automatically populates that metadata into a SharePoint Embedded container for accounting purposes.

Key Benefits
Application Isolation: A major advantage of using SharePoint Embedded for Power Apps is that it isolates content from regular SharePoint search and prevents users from accidentally breaking the application by modifying document library settings or permissions directly.
Customization: Developers can use SPE to create autonomous applications where they have full control over the security boundaries and the user interface while Microsoft manages the complex backend infrastructure like authentication and compliance.
