Configuring the Sharepoint app in Connections

Edit the widgets-config.xml file for Communities to update the SharePoint Library app definition and provide the app's client ID and the URL for the Microsoft Office 365 tenant that the app will connect to.

    <itemSet> 
        <item name="clientId" value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"/> 
        <item name="tenant" value="your_organization_url.onmicrosoft.com"/>
    </itemSet> 
</widgetDef>  
<!--END SHAREPOINT ONLINE WIDGET DEF-->
  3. Set the client ID to the string that you copied for the application (client) ID in the previous task.
