Connect OneDrive

Connect OneDrive or SharePoint and your institutional documents become searchable in Anara alongside your uploaded papers, without downloading and re-uploading them. Use it when your answers depend on both your research library and your organization's repository.

Prompt

A regulatory affairs consultant advising a client on an EU MDR submission searches the client's SharePoint site alongside guidance documents in her Anara library.

I have connected my client's SharePoint site. The relevant folder is "MDR Documentation > Technical Files > [Device Name]." It contains the device description, existing risk management file, and prior GSPR responses from the 2022 submission.

I need to know: which GSPR requirements under EU MDR 2017/745 are covered by the existing technical documentation, and which requirements either have no corresponding document or have documents that were last updated before the 2024 MDCG guidance on clinical evidence? Search across the SharePoint folder and my Anara library for the MDCG guidance documents I uploaded.

What to add to your library

• Required: a connected OneDrive or SharePoint account. If it is not connected yet, Anara guides you through the OAuth connection when you ask.
• Required: the specific folder or site to search, or a description of what the repository contains.
• Optional: your research question, split into what you need from the organizational documents versus your Anara library.
• Optional: a description of the folder structure, if the naming conventions are not self-explanatory.

What you get

• Answers grounded in both your connected repository and your Anara library.
• Citations to the specific documents in each source.
• Your connected documents stay in their original location. Anara reads them but does not modify them.

Follow-ups

Find a document you can't locate by folder.

Search the connected SharePoint site for any document that contains the phrase "worst-case risk scenario" in the context of residual risk for class IIb devices. Return the document name, folder location, and the relevant passage.

Check an internal document against external guidance.

Our internal clinical evaluation protocol is in the SharePoint Technical Files folder. I also have the MDCG 2020-13 clinical evidence guidance uploaded to my Anara library. Does our internal protocol meet all the requirements in the MDCG guidance? Flag any requirement from the guidance that is not addressed by the protocol.

Tips

• Connector search is keyword-based, not semantic. Use your organization's own document names ("GSPR response," "risk management file") as search terms.
• For concept questions, find the document by name first, then ask Anara to read it.
• The connector is read-only, and documents with restricted permissions stay inaccessible even when connected.
• Name the folder or site explicitly in your prompts to point Anara at the right location.
