# Features and Capabilities

The SharePoint OData Connector retrieves data from a SharePoint or SharePoint Online repository.

Repository | SharePoint Online. Microsoft SharePoint 2019. Microsoft SharePoint 2016. Microsoft SharePoint 2013. Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Foundation Edition.
Data the connector can retrieve | The connector creates documents for: Sites. Lists. List Items, including: Announcements. Appointments Blog Entries Posts in discussion forums. Publishing pages. Survey responses. Tasks. Wiki pages. Attachments to list items. Folders in lists and document libraries. Files in document libraries. User Profiles. Social feeds associated with SharePoint users and SharePoint sites.
Data the connector cannot retrieve | The connector uses an API to retrieve the information stored in SharePoint, rather than crawling the web pages presented by the front end. This means that information displayed on a single page can be indexed in separate documents. You can use the `IndexHidden` parameter to index hidden items. However, if you set `ChangesFromContentDatabase=true` in the connector's configuration file, the connector cannot process updates to hidden lists and list items. This is due to a limitation with the Microsoft SharePoint APIs.
