Set Up External Document Storage by Using Guided Setup
Set up external document storage for Salesforce contract records and templates, which is
used for online editing in Microsoft 365. Specify the target object and record type to determine
which records use external storage. Doing this ensures proper organization and access to the
documents. A target object and record type combination must be unique and can’t be repeated.

Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and
Developer editions.

Note When you use external document storage with Microsoft 365 and a minimum-privilege access
model, only the docgen designer who creates a Microsoft 365 document can edit the document by
default. To enable shared editing when multiple designers work in the same org, create a
dedicated folder in Microsoft SharePoint, grant access to the required designers, and configure
a separate external document storage configuration in Salesforce that points to this folder.
Thus, preserving the minimum-privilege security model while supporting collaboration.
In the guided setup, click Set Up External Document Storage to
expand the step.
Select a target object, and then select a corresponding record type.
In the Document Path field, enter the storage path starting from the root directory (for
example, salesforce/contracts). If the field is left blank, the root
directory is considered as the storage path.
Click Add and save your changes.
