As you said you need to download the document and temporarily store it in appian. Use some staging table to modify the data when upload the file again, make the changes edit/delete the records and save into DB. Always have a copy of deleted records, because the records which are deleted might also be deleted in sharepoint.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/121284?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 02 Nov 2023 15:47:34 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:b9ad05ba-7d87-4f32-aa3c-6a04f9f47c2fvijayalakshmig0072<p>Hi ,</p> <p>First thing is do you want to keep track of deleted records ? In this case DB approach is the best way. Because from the DB table&nbsp; we can able to identify what are the records are deleted in SharePoint.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/121283?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 02 Nov 2023 15:46:21 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:71ddbceb-11a6-4498-9885-92bbda0b2912dineshd0003<p>AFAIK we don&#39;t have any plugins in place to directly manipulate or work with the excel data without brining it into database.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
