Deploy and monitor your connection

Completed

Now it's time to publish your connection! Before you select the Publish button, you should review your settings and make any changes you want. You should also check out the connector-specific info for your data source if you haven't already. When everything looks good, you can go ahead and publish your connection.

Staged Rollout

Staged rollout is a feature that lets you roll out Microsoft Graph connectors to a small group of users in your production environment. You can choose Publish to limited users to test the connector with a limited audience.

Manage how your connection results show up

By default, your connection results will show up in the All vertical after you publish it. If you don't want that, you can opt out.

Customize the search results page

After you publish the connection, you might want to tweak the search results page with verticals and result types. You can manage verticals at two levels in the Microsoft 365 admin center:

  • Organization-Level: Done in the Microsoft 365 admin center, you can edit existing verticals or add new ones. After you set up the vertical, you can review and save it.

  • Site-Level: Done in a SharePoint site's settings panel. You can adjust the search settings and manage verticals.

To see the vertical on the search results page, you need to have a Search Result Layout. This controls how the results that match the conditions look on the page.

Confirm that your connection is working

Go to the Connectors tab in the Microsoft 365 admin center to see if your connection shows up in the list of published connections.
