How to embed a document from SharePoint Online in a Confluence page

Customers often tell us that Confluence is awesome for team collaboration but only so-so for document management (even though attachments are versioned and so on). In turn, while SharePoint offers some sort of wiki most customers only use it as better “file drive” and primarily want to benefit from all the document management capabilities it provides. This often leads to a situation where the gap in the integration of the two systems forms some sort of digital divide. But – to say it with the words of Apple Inc. – there’s an app for that!

The dialogue also provides options how to display the document: either as a preview or as a link – depending on how you wish to structure your Confluence page. The following animation will showcase how simple the process really is:
