Frequently asked questions

The add-in will be available on the Microsoft App Source store. Admins can deploy it to their users through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. 

Users can install the add-in themselves if their organization's IT admin allows access to the Outlook Get add-in store.

If the IT admin does not deploy the add-in and does not allow users to access the store, the add-in will not be available to the users.

The add-in will be available automatically only if the IT admin deploys it to all users. Otherwise, users will need to install it from the store if allowed.

IT admins can find the add-in in the Microsoft App Source store and deploy it to their users from the Admin center.

The add-in only supports Microsoft 365 Outlook.
