You can add Powerpoint Online and Excel Online files as assets.

Note: Your Office 365 files must be stored online in Sharepoint or Microsoft Teams. You can modify your files online or using your Powerpoint or Excel rich client.

Before adding Office 365 files as assets, you must either:

• make your Office 365 file publicly available by setting its permissions to anyone with the link
• share your file with your generic company account – to be able to to this, an administrator must add the generic company account to Office 365 credentials in the Organization tab
