Highspot
Access sales content from Highspot
Availability depends on your school's enabled tools, provider setup, and account permissions. These settings are managed in the web workspace. A class policy may restrict a feature described here.
How it works#
The Highspot connector indexes documents from your Highspot instance. It can index either specific spots you add or all spots where you have view access and download permissions.
Setting up#
Authorization#
IMPORTANT: Highspot Platform Plus is an add-on feature that provides access to the API. Without Platform Plus, users cannot access the API features required for this connector. Please ensure your school has purchased the Platform Plus add-on before proceeding.

Before using this source with students#
Start with approved course material. Check which documents the connector can retrieve and how it maps source permissions. Test with a student account and a teacher account before widening access. A successful sync does not prove that the intended class boundary is correct.
Use source troubleshooting when a document is missing or visible to the wrong audience.
