The reference topics for the application provide additional information about the SharePoint Online Search Connector settings, content types, and
features.

## Crawl constraints {#sharepoint-reference__section_y5f_zwf_n4b}

For more information on crawl types, see [Microsoft SharePoint crawl types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3Vmg9mQGwmcGznwoz~0ObA "Crawling gathers the content for search. To retrieve information, the crawl operation connects to the content sources by using connectors.").

* The time of crawling may vary, based on the content size.
* The documents are available for search after a successful crawl. For more information on crawl types, see [Microsoft SharePoint crawl types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3Vmg9mQGwmcGznwoz~0ObA "Crawling gathers the content for search. To retrieve information, the crawl operation connects to the content sources by using connectors.").

{#sharepoint-reference__ul_pck_tfd_l4b}  
Note:  
For the latest information on the content types and constraints, see [AI Search](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=overview-ais&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) documentation.

## Scheduled job frequency {#sharepoint-reference__section_ht5_wgj_dwb}

The default-scheduled job frequency is set to maximize the performance. For more information, see [SharePoint Online Search Connector scheduled jobs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/AjKdWtKekFb9pINknvO_bg "Create a scheduled job to fetch each entity such as sites, drives, file metadata, and file content.").

## Look up file permissions {#sharepoint-reference__section_tpf_qtp_m2c}

When Look up File Permissions action returns a blank or null array, you may face access issues. To resolve the access issue, use the Client Credentials type instead of Authorization Code and provide the API permissions on the application level where the type is application, for more information, see [KB1642515](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1642515).

* The AI Search file size maximum of 25 MB applies.

## Reduce batch size value and execution time {#sharepoint-reference__section_adq_gk5_zzb}

The sn_sp_con.sharepoint_batch_size property controls the size of the batch in SharePoint and the default value is 200. You can update this value to reduce the batch size and the execution time of the Index flows. Navigate to System Properties sys_properties_list.do, search for sn_sp_con.sharepoint_batch_size, and reduce the value.

## Delegated permissions and Application permissions {#sharepoint-reference__section_vyc_t34_xzb}

When you want the search results to display only the published versions of a document, ensure you select Application permissions instead of the Delegated permissions while configuring the permissions explained in [Configure the Microsoft SharePoint tenant](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/f8QDaB0jVNUUDjGyv9rzQQ#spoc-config "Configure your Microsoft SharePoint tenant to get started with the SharePoint Online Search Connector."). Admins can limit indexing only the published versions only, ensuring that drafts or unfinished work are not displayed in the search results.
