When you are ready to Embed your PowerPoint as an asset in Synapse, follow these steps:

2. Copy the Embed Code and paste into a document or notepad on your computer, there are some slight modifications you will need to make.
3. This is an example of what the iFrame copy looks like and what you’ll specifically need to copy and modify.
a) First, copy the URL that is in bold below:
<iframe src=“https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=A0D92634271F6047%21163&authkey=%21AIlEtdje1jozRXU&em=2&wdAr=1.7777777777777777” width=“350px” height=“221px” frameborder=“0">This is an embedded <a target=“_blank” href=“https://office.com”>Microsoft Office</a> presentation, powered by <a target=“_blank” href=“https://office.com/webapps”>Office</a>.</iframe>
b) Remove anywhere the URL has "amp;" as bolded below:
https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=A0D92634271F6047%21163&authkey=%21AIlEtdje1jozRXU&em=2&wdAr=1.7777777777777777
c) This will be the URL you’ll paste into Synapse in Step 4.
4. In Synapse, add an Embed asset and paste the URL in the Page Link field.
5. You will see a sample of the document appear in the editor and can change the height of the frame.
If you are looking to allow users to make changes to the embedded document, follow these steps:
1. In the Microsoft 365 document, you'll need to click Share and change the permissions for who can view and edit the document. Copy the Share URL.
2. In Synapse, replace the "Open URL" with the URL you have copied.
The most recent version of the file will then always appear in Synapse and your editors can click on Open in a new tab to be able to make changes to the document.
