Use external tools for content creation

  • Updated

External tools added with an embed code are subject to inactivity suspension rules; we therefore recommend using documents that require less than 15 minutes to complete.

Please note that these are external tools and may require a separate license.

Note that Microsoft recommends avoiding embedding SharePoint sites. A possible workaround is to first disable a specific security mechanism, and then use a manually created iframe link (described in the subsection "The cheating way" of this article), but this may create side effects and security issues; we recommend going that way only if you fully control the consequences of those actions.
