After the SharePoint Module has been installed and a SharePoint List/Document Library has been configured, the List/Document Library can be interacted with using Decisions steps in a Flow. The **Fetch Documents** **Step** enables Users to retrieve a list of Documents from an integrated SharePoint List/Document Library.

  - [Establishing an OAuth Provider](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/en/establishing-an-oauth-provider?highlight=Creating%20an%20Oauth%20Token)
  - [Creating OAuth Tokens](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/creating-oauth-tokens)
  - [Create a SharePoint Document Library/List](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/sharepoint-module#adding-a-sharepoint-list)

## Sharepoint Limitations

SharePoint has inherent limitations in its capacity to handle files. They are:

Only 5,000 files can be displayed in a view.

Only 300,000 files can be stored in a library before performance issues arise.

Unique document permissions are limited to 50,000 items per list.
