How do we compare versions and create change reports?

Use Speckle Intelligence Chat to compare synced model versions, explain the differences and create a shareable Report. Intelligence is available when your workspace plan includes it. Comparisons use the model versions available in your project.

How can we try the SharePoint integration?

The integration is in a limited beta for invited workspaces. Get in touch for a demo and to discuss access for your team.

Does our Microsoft 365 admin need to approve it?

Yes. A Microsoft admin approves Speckle for your organization once. The background app requests read access to all SharePoint sites in your Microsoft 365 organization. Each user then signs in with their own Microsoft account and can browse the sites and files they can already access. Speckle only syncs the individual files you choose.

Does this work with SharePoint Server or personal OneDrive?

This integration is for SharePoint Online in commercial Microsoft 365 organizations, connected to Speckle Cloud. Self-hosted SharePoint Server, sovereign Microsoft clouds and personal OneDrive accounts are not supported.

What happens to drafts and checked-out files?

Speckle syncs published file content. Drafts and checked-out changes wait until they are published or checked in. A rename or change to a library column alone does not create a new model version.

Will our existing version history be imported?

The sync starts with the current published content and follows changes from that point onwards. It does not import older SharePoint versions. New Speckle versions show the source SharePoint version number so you can trace them back.

Can we sync a whole document library?

You choose individual supported model files. Each file connects to one Speckle model. Whole-library and folder syncs are not supported.

Can we use this model data in Power BI?

Yes. Connect Power BI to the synced model using the Speckle Power BI connector. Report refreshes read the model data available in Speckle, so you do not need to download the source file from SharePoint for each report.

Your BIM modelsare in SharePoint.Now put them to work.

Connect your Revit, IFC or Navisworks files in SharePoint once. Published model changes become Speckle versions you can compare, report on and share.

Architecture Version 1 · From SharePoint Synced

Your models live in SharePoint. Seeing what's changed takes work.

Files get overwritten and re-uploaded. When a client asks what changed since the last issue, someone opens two models side by side and starts hunting.

Ask Speckle Intelligence to explain the changes.

How it works

Connect once.
Keep working as usual.

Your team saves models to SharePoint. Speckle follows their published content.

01
Connect SharePoint
Choose the model files you care about from your SharePoint libraries, once.
02
Keep working as usual
Your team saves files to SharePoint the way it does today.
03
Published changes become versions
Speckle captures published content changes automatically, ready to compare and share.

Your Microsoft admin approves Speckle once for your organization. This grants the background app read access across its SharePoint Online sites. Only the files you select are synced. Drafts are skipped until published; renames and library column edits alone do not create model versions.

Turn model changes into a report

In Speckle Intelligence Chat, turn a version comparison into a shareable Report for coordination meetings or client issues.

Keep a reliable model history

Each Speckle version records its time and publisher, with the source SharePoint version number so you can trace the model content used for a review.
