This solution is for you if:

  • You use Office 365 or SharePoint 2019 environment.
  • You have ShortPoint installed on your SharePoint sites(s).
  • You are a ShortPoint Designer with an active license.
  • ShortPoint Power BI integration is established in your SharePoint sites and you want to disconnect it.

Step 1. Navigate to ShortPoint hidden library


Obtain the URL of your tenant/site collection where you want to disconnect ShortPoint Graph Integration and append the name of the hidden library. For example:


https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitecollection/lists/SHORTPOINT - Branding Settings


Where:


https://tenant.sharepoint.com is the URL of your tenant (root site).

sitecollection is the name of your site collection.

/lists/SHORTPOINT - Branding Settings is the path that you will add that would take you to the hidden library.


This is how it should look like when you navigate to the page:

https://tenant.sharepoint.com/lists/SHORTPOINT - Branding Settings

/lists/ SHORTPOINT - Branding Settings is the path to the hidden library.
