Embedding docs from sharepoint into Rise 360 embed block
I want to embed PDF/word docs that are housed in sharepoint into a Rise 360 embed block - I have searched through the threads and haven't found any related articles.

Hi Erin,
If your IT department has already determined that the embedding of documents within Rise courses is forbidden by a SharePoint Content Security Policy Directive, I'm not sure what you are asking.
I'm asking if there's an alternative! I assumed the policy directive was not just confined to my organisation but Microsoft products generally so how do other people embed PDF's if Sharepoint (or OneDrive for business) is not an option? Surely others have the need to embed docs in Rise? If so, I want to know how you do it :)
Hi Erin,
There are really only two options for documents:
- Use a Rise Attachment Block.
- Host your documents somewhere other than SharePoint and use document links.
Both options have security related issues and require a procedure to track and update.
Your department will need to develop a formal security policy in conjunction with your IT department to determine what you may or may not do with documents that are used in your Rise courses.
If you are hosting your Rise courses in a LMS, you may be using a third party LMS that is hosted outside your organization firewall. This poses security risks if you are you using Attachment Blocks.
For our organization, because we use an external LMS, we are not authorized to use any sensitive type documents in our Rise courses. None.
We use space on our company web server to host non-sensitive documents and link to them. We use this method for documents that change fairly frequently.
For a few static documents we use Attachment blocks.
For both linked and attached documents, we have created a register to keep track of the documents used and the courses where they are used in case we need to make changes.
