How to add documents into your Published App

Hi,

 

I have a published app that have various excel and power bi reports . I would like to add a documentation section that can include powerpoints, pdfs and link to a confluence page .

 

Is this possible ? Maybe have them link to a sharepoint page? Do the URLs need to be embeded?

 

Thank you

Some user embed a how to document, and some user embed a survey.

If I get you correctly, you could add links in the Desktop. With my test, I was able to add a text box and insert the link of my onedrive folder into the box, you can also insert the links of a individual ppt or pdf files in the text boxs. Then publish to service and update to the App.

You can also put the links into a excel, then add that excel to the datset to create a something on the report. something like:

bhttps://...

Im referring to this note from the link you shared:

"Just make sure the link you add supports embedding, since some services block this"

 

I know there is a link feature. But what link do i put in for a powerpoint , pdf file or a confluence link?
