Office Add-ins help you personalize your documents and streamline the way you access information on the web (see Start using your Office Add-in<\/a>). As an admin, you can deploy Office Add-ins for the users in your organization by using the Centralized Deployment feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center<\/a>. Centralized Deployment is the recommended and most feature-rich way for most admins to deploy add-ins to users and groups within an organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information on how to determine if your organization can support Centralized Deployment, see Determine if Centralized Deployment of add-ins works for your organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about managing add-ins after deployment, see Manage add-ins in the admin center<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Note<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Word, Excel and PowerPoint use a SharePoint App Catalog<\/a> to deploy add-ins to users in an on-premises environment with no connection to Microsoft 365 and\/or support for SharePoint add-ins required. For Outlook use Exchange control panel to deploy in an on-premises environment without a connection to Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Recommended approach for deploying Office Add-ins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To roll out add-ins by using a phased approach, we recommend the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Roll out the add-in to a small set of business stakeholders and members of the IT department. If the deployment is successful, move to step 2.<\/li>
  2. Roll out the add-in to more individuals within the business. Again, evaluate the results and, if successful, continue with full deployment.<\/li>
  3. Perform a full rollout to all users.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Depending on the size of the target audience, you can add or remove roll-out steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Deploy an Office Add-in using the admin center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before you begin, see Determine if Centralized Deployment of add-ins works for your organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. In the admin center, go to the Settings<\/strong> > Integrated apps<\/strong> > Add-ins<\/strong> page.<\/li>
    2. Select Deploy Add-in<\/strong> at the top of the page, and then select Next<\/strong>. note you can also deploy add-ins in the admin center through Integrated Apps<\/a>. Integrated Apps is visible to Global and Exchange administrators. If you don’t see the above steps, go to the Centralized Deployment section by going to Settings<\/strong> > Integrated apps<\/strong>. On the top of the Integrated apps<\/strong> page, choose Add-ins<\/strong>.<\/li>
    3. Select an option and follow the instructions.<\/li>
    4. If you selected the option to add an add-in from the Office Store, make your add-in selection.
      You can view available add-ins by categories: Suggested for you<\/strong>, Rating<\/strong>, or Name<\/strong>. Only free add-ins are available from the Office Store. Paid add-ins aren’t supported currently. After you select an add-in, accept the terms and conditions to proceed.
       NoteWith the Office Store option, updates and enhancements are automatically deployed to users.<\/li>
    5. On the next page, select Everyone<\/strong>, Specific users\/groups<\/strong>, or Just me<\/strong> to specify who the add-in is deployed to. Use the Search box to find specific users or groups.
       NoteTo learn about other states that apply to an add-in, see       Add-in states<\/a>.<\/li>
    6. Select Deploy<\/strong>.<\/li>
    7. A green tick appears when the add-in is deployed. Follow the on-page instructions to test the add-in. NoteUsers might need to relaunch Office to view the add-in icon on the app ribbon. Outlook add-ins can take up to 24 hours to appear on app ribbons.<\/li>
    8. When finished, select Next<\/strong>. If you’ve deployed to just yourself, you can select Change who has access to add-in<\/strong> to deploy to more users.If you’ve deployed the add-in to other members of your organization, follow the instructions to announce the deployment of the add-in.
      It’s good practice to inform users and groups that the deployed add-in is available. Consider sending an email that describes when and how to use the add-in. Include or link to Help content or FAQs that might help users if they have problems with the add-in.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/a>Considerations when assigning an add-in to users and groups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Global admins and Exchange admins can assign an add-in to everyone or to specific users and groups. Each option has implications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
