This month, we’re “rolling” out a brand new data source provider for our Lightning Conductor rollup web part for SharePoint and Microsoft Teams! You’ll now be able to display data from external data sources using Microsoft’s new Graph Connector feature (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mic…).

In addition, we’re making our SharePoint Search data source provider even easier to use in this release – with a preview window and a “magic” button! See the new features in action in our March 16 live webinar: https://lightningtools.com/webinars/
