How to sync SharePoint documents to Spara for AI training.
Spara syncs documents from your SharePoint Online sites and document libraries to train your AI agents. Synced documents are added to your Knowledge base, giving agents the context they need to answer questions about your products, policies, and processes.

When you select a folder, Spara syncs all supported file types within it and its subfolders. Unsupported file types (like images or Excel files) are skipped automatically.
How syncing works
Periodic sync — Spara re-scans your selected folders on a regular interval to detect new, modified, and deleted files
Folder hierarchy — The folder structure from SharePoint is preserved in the Spara Knowledge UI for easy navigation
Deleted files — If a file is removed from SharePoint, it is automatically removed from your Knowledge base on the next sync
FAQ
Can I sync from multiple SharePoint sites?
Yes. The file picker shows all sites in your SharePoint tenant. You can select documents from any combination of sites and libraries.
How quickly do changes appear?
Document changes are picked up during the next periodic sync cycle. For immediate updates, you can trigger a manual sync from the Knowledge page.
