Simplify SharePoint publishing with Readin

Nov 25, 2024

Turning internal documents into readable web pages can take more work than expected. Readin connects to SharePoint so authors can manage files as usual and publish them for readers.

SharePoint is widely used for document storage, collaboration, and version control within Microsoft 365.

But presenting those documents to readers can be more difficult:

Three challenges when publishing from SharePoint

1. Difficulty finding documents

In a large SharePoint library, finding the right file can be difficult without clear structure and metadata. Finding a particular passage inside that file adds another step.

2. Complex permissions

Permissions across sites, libraries, folders, and files can make it harder for employees and external collaborators to access what they need.

3. Frustrating reading experience

Long documents displayed as files aren't always easy to read on smaller screens. PDFs may require constant zooming and scrolling.

From writing to publishing

Microsoft Word, SharePoint, and Readin each handle a different part of the process.

1. Write with Microsoft Word

Authors can keep writing in the Microsoft Word environment they already know.

2. Manage with SharePoint

Use SharePoint to store, organize, and collaborate on source documents.

3. Publish with Readin

Readin publishes documents as searchable web pages that adapt to phones, tablets, and computers.

Readin completes the publishing workflow

With Readin, readers can search published content, use access-controlled libraries, and ask questions through an AI assistant. Authors can continue managing files in SharePoint.

Keep SharePoint for document management and use Readin for reader-friendly publishing.
