Installing Data Viewer SPFx Client Side Web Part
Data Viewer is packaged as an SPFx Client Side Web Part which makes it very simple to install.

- Download the Data Viewer SPFx Client Side Web Part from https://lightningtools.com/download-a-data-integration-tool if you haven’t done so already.
- Unzip the package. You will find the ltdvcswp.sppkg which is required for deployment to SharePoint Sites.
- Navigate to your SharePoint App Catalog. It is likely to be a URL such as: https://your_company.sharepoint.com/sites/appacatalog/SitePages/Home.aspx. Although the name of the App Catalog can vary.
- Click Apps for SharePoint on the left hand navigation pane.
- Click Upload from the Apps for SharePoint list.
- Browse to the ltdvcswp.sppkg file that you unzipped in step 2.
- Check the box to make this solution available to all sites in the organization.
