Every application registered at the Microsoft azure portal can register Redirect URIs in the Authentication section of the applications registration page shown in the picture below.

For the authentication process to work, you have to add the following redirect to the list:

 <protocol>://<stages-hostname>:<port>/stages/app/files/oauth_callback

• Protocol: Microsoft only accepts https expect for testing scenarios on localhost (then http is valid as well)
• Stages-hostname: Hostname of the server, users can access the Stages application
• Port: Port Stages is running on (80 for http, 443 for https) or any other custom port

In addition to the Redirect URIs, the application needs permissions for file handling in behalf of the user. The picture below shows, how this should look like:

For each checkin of a file, the user can attach a comment for the version which gets created. The Microsoft Endpoint, which is used to read that information, delivers the same checkin comment for each version. This comment is simply the latest checkin comment. (Opened issue at Github)

Currently, the graph API only supports checkin/checkout and no Undo-Checkout. So for every lock/unlock a new version of that file is created in sharepoint online.

Creates two versions (one for the creation of a new file/ second for updating the properties)
