SharePoint: Create HTML Policy Templates

Key insights

• HTML pages are now first-class content in SharePoint and you can create, upload, edit and publish them from the Site Pages library using New ... HTML page or by uploading a file.
  They work like governed content pages rather than free-form web apps.


• Turn policies into an interactive tool — example: a policy as a claim checker that asks a few guided questions, shows what you can claim, what documents you need and who approves it.
  The full policy can remain on the page in collapsible sections for reference.


• SharePoint isolates HTML pages for safety using a sandboxed iframe and strict Content Security Policy (CSP) rules that block inline JavaScript and outbound fetches.
  For richer interactivity, Microsoft recommends using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx).


• Governance matters: a site owner must enable Allow HTML files in the Site Pages library before uploads work.
  Creating pages with Copilot requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence, but uploading, publishing and viewing the page do not.


• Benefits include better usability, a cleaner publishing flow, and the ability to ask Copilot in SharePoint questions about the policy from the same page.
  Start with policies people ask about most, such as expenses, leave and travel.


• Rollout: public preview began early October 2026 and general availability is planned from mid-November to late December 2026.
  Treat HTML pages as governed presentation content — not a substitute for proper app development — and use SPFx for advanced scenarios.
