UV Similar Documents documentation

Overview

Find similar documents from a result in Search Pro. Uses metadata and optional embeddings — not a duplicate of the whole tenant index.

For: Authors comparing related files.

Features

  • Similar from a hit

    Open a result and request similar items.

  • Permission-trimmed

    Only files the user can open.

Requirements

  • SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365)
  • Tenant app catalog
  • SPFx 1.18+
  • Node 18 LTS / 22 LTS for custom builds
  • License key from Account → License keys

Installation

  1. After purchase or trial, download the signed uv-search-pro.sppkg package from Account → Files / UV Apps catalog.
  2. Upload the package to the tenant app catalog (SharePoint admin → More features → Apps).
  3. Enable the app for the whole tenant or selected site collections.
  4. If Entra asks for consent, approve only the permissions listed on the product page.
  5. Open a site and add the web part (or open the full-page app). The app checks for a purchased license or an active trial for this tenant.

How to use

  1. Open the page signed in with a work account from this Microsoft 365 tenant.
  2. The app asks the license server whether this tenant has a purchase or an active trial — no key is required.
  3. If nothing is found, paid features stay locked. Clock, Banner, Quick Links and Profile Card still run in Free mode.
  4. A product key from Account → License keys is only a fallback when silent activation fails.
  5. Open a Search Pro result and choose Similar.

Configuration

  • Similarity fields

Troubleshooting

  • Empty: not enough comparable files in scope.

Licensing

The app checks this tenant for a purchased license or an active trial and unlocks automatically. Sign in with a work mailbox on a verified domain of the Microsoft 365 tenant. See the licensing guide.
