Connect QPP NextGen to Microsoft Office 365 for Seamless Asset and Workflow Integration

Quark Publishing Platform NextGen seamlessly integrates with everyday Microsoft Office 365 apps for centralizing assets, optimizing workflows, keeping control of versions and reusing content efficiently.

The integration creates a unified ecosystem to make content operations smooth and easy to manage, removing the potential barriers to non-compliance and releasing the pressure on publishing deadlines.

Upload and Update Charts, Tables and Slide Decks In Real Time

In Microsoft Excel, content teams can create charts, graphs and tables linked from their local machine and upload them to QPP NextGen for reuse across the entire content library.

In Microsoft PowerPoint they can collaborate on, reuse and create new presentations from existing slides, tables, charts, audios, videos and images.

Co-authoring is easy, as writers and content creators can securely check in and check out files to their local app as they work on them.

Refresh Microsoft Excel Components Silently from Inside Your Own App

QPP NextGen’s Microsoft Excel integration visibly extends into the Ribbon at the top of the Excel interface, providing a simple Push Changes button for updating content in the CCMS repository.

The updates are delivered silently in the background, with no need for the content creator to log on to QPP NextGen. Customized automated workflows inform stakeholders that a new version is available to use.

Author Structured Content in Microsoft Word’s Low-Code, No-Code Interface

In Quark Publishing Platform NextGen, subject-matter experts and content writers can use their familiar Microsoft Word software to write reusable content components.

The writing experience is the same as it is for any other Word document, so they don’t have to worry about XML, schemas, taxonomies or learning how to use new authoring software. They just get on and write.
