How to leverage non-PDF documents
- Nov 13, 2023
My apologies RobertSchneider1234 I double-checked your document and see now that you were using the Enterprise.. I apparently did not have enough coffee this morning... I also think I found out where the issue lies. I was finally able to get the sidebar to answer within the context of a OneDrive PDF but I had to do the following:
1) Click on the (...) on the document > choose to Open Location
2) Click on the (...) on the document > choose Open > Open in Browser
Then I was able to ask it questions about the document. Before, for some reason it would only see the OneDrive directory page and answer questions about that page.
What is most important is that I can now open up PDFs from my OneDrive using Windows Explorer by using Open With > Microsoft Edge. So I think your solution of installing the Microsoft 365 extension is the missing piece.
Thank you for your help and my apologies again.
