Abstract: We develop a systematic framework to compute the conformal partial wave expansions (CPWEs) of tree-level four-point Witten diagrams with totally symmetric external fields of arbitrary mass and integer spin in AdS${}_{d+1}$. Employing this framework, we determine the CPWE of a generic exchange Witten diagram with spinning exchanged field. As an intermediate step, we diagonalise the linear map between spinning three-point conformal structures and spinning cubic couplings in AdS. As a concrete application, we compute all exchange diagrams in the type A higher-spin gauge theory on AdS${}_{d+1}$, which is conjectured to be dual to the free scalar $Oleft(Night)$ model. Given a CFT${}_d$, our results provide the complete holographic reconstruction of all cubic couplings involving totally symmetric fields in the putative dual theory on AdS${}_{d+1}$.
