SharePoint

If your company runs on Microsoft, contracts belong in SharePoint — that is where legal looks, where retention policies apply, and where they will still be in five years. AeroSpark writes them there automatically rather than holding them hostage.

What gets filed

• The document as submitted
• The AI-marked-up version, if one was produced
• The approved final
• The executed copy once it is signed

Into per-counterparty and per-document-type subfolders, created as needed.

It fits the Microsoft way of working

Because the marked-up document is a normal DOCX with real tracked changes, a reviewer can open it straight from SharePoint in Word Online, make edits, and the version history behaves exactly as it does for every other document your team handles. There is no proprietary viewer in the middle.

Setting it up

An administrator connects SharePoint through Microsoft Graph from the admin menu and picks the target site and library.

Worth knowing before you see the consent screen, because it asks for more than you might expect. Setup and everyday running use different permissions:

• Setup asks for broad access, briefly. Azure will prompt an administrator for full control across SharePoint sites. That is what Microsoft requires to list your sites so you can choose one and to grant AeroSpark rights on it. The token is the administrator's own, lives in memory for the length of the setup session, is never written to disk, and is discarded as soon as you save.
• Everyday running is narrow. After setup, AeroSpark holds Sites.Selected — access to the one site you granted, and nothing else in your tenant. That is the permission every upload actually uses.

If the broad setup prompt is not acceptable to your administrator, Google Drive works the same way without it, and so does plain email submission.

Folder names are sanitised on the way in — counterparty names routinely contain characters SharePoint rejects, and a filing step that fails on a trailing period is not much use.
