!! The O365 add-in roll-out for all users should be done 24-36 hours before launch, as Microsoft may require 24 hours to complete it.

Requirements for installation of add-ins

To complete this guide you need:

  • Microsoft Outlook for Office 365 or Microsoft Outlook Web for Office 365

  • SSO setup with your Cloud solution

  • Manifest file from your administrator

  • Planner with Full Exchange Integration

  • Uninstall our VSTO add-in before installing your Outlook Office 365 Pronestor add-ins

How to roll out the add-in for all users

The Pronestor Office Add-in can be installed either by the users or centralized deployment on behalf of individual users, user groups, or the entire corporation.

If users are to install the add-in themselves - please follow the section "Manuel installation" below. If deployment is to happen centralized on behalf of multiple users - please follow the section "Centralized deployment of add-in".

Centralized deployment of add-in

Require O365 administrator permissions.

  • Open Microsoft 365 admin center in Office 365

  • Click settings in the left side menu and choose Integrated Apps

  • Choose "Add-ins" - in the top section where it refers to "Line of business apps"

  • Save manifest file from your Planner site [Administration → Settings → Other Settings]

  • Choose "Deploy add-in" - which will guide you on how to deploy the add-in to Outlook users in your organization

  • Select "Deploy custom add-in" and choose "Upload custom apps"

  • Choose "I have a FILE for the manifest file" and load the manifest the Pronestor add-in manifest

  • Click "Upload"

  • Please follow the rest of the steps onscreen to choose users who should have the add-in install

We do recommend following the recommendation by Microsoft - that is, choose a small set of users to validate the installation and distribution before, distributing it corporate-wide.

Please be aware that the deployment can take up to 24 hours for Microsoft to complete the distribution.

For further information on centralized deployment - please refer to the following guide from Microsoft: Manage Deployment of Add-ins
