The add-in webpage itself is hosted out-of-process. As shown in figure 1, on a Windows desktop or tablet device, the add-in webpage is hosted inside an Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge control which, in turn, is hosted inside an add-in runtime process that provides security and performance isolation.

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). As an admin, you can deploy Office add-ins for the users in your organization. You can do this using the Centralized Deployment feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Centralized Deployment is the recommended and most feature-rich way for most admins to deploy add-ins to users and groups within an organization. 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 Office 365 organization.

Centralized Deployment provides the following benefits:

A Global admin can assign an add-in directly to a user, to multiple users via a group, or to everyone in the tenant.
When the relevant Office application starts, the add-in automatically downloads for the user. If the add-in supports add-in commands, the add-in automatically appears in the Ribbon within the Office application.
Add-ins will no longer appear for users if the admin turns off or deletes the add-in, or if the user is removed from Azure Active Directory or from a group that the add-in is assigned to.

Note

For Word, Excel and PowerPoint use a SharePoint App Catalog to deploy add-ins to users in an on-premises environment with no connection to Office 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 Office 365. >

Recommended approach for deploying Office add-ins

Consider rolling out add-ins in a phased approach to help ensure your add-in deployment goes smoothly. We recommend the following plan:

Roll-out the add-in to a small set of business stakeholders and members of the IT department. Evaluate if the deployment was successful, and if so, move on to step 2.
Roll-out to a larger set of individuals within the business who will be using the add-in. Again, evaluate results and, if all went well, go to the next step of a full deployment.
Full rollout to target audience of users.

Depending on the size of the target audience, you may want to add or remove roll-out steps.

Deploy an Office add-in using the admin center

Before you begin, see Determine if Centralized Deployment of add-ins works for your Office 365 organization.

In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to the Settings > Add-ins page.
Select Deploy Add-in at the top of the page. On the overview page, select Next.
Select an option and follow the instructions.
If you selected the option to add an add-in from the Office Store, you can now make your add-in selection. Notice that you can view available add-ins via categories of Suggested for you, Rating, or Name. Only free add-ins are available to add from the Office Store. Paid add-ins aren't supported currently. Once you've selected your add-in, you will need to agree to some additional terms and conditions in order to proceed.
NOTE: With the Office Store option, updates and enhancements to the add-in will automatically be made available to users without your intervention.
On the next page, select Everyone, Specific users/groups or Just me to specify who the add-in is deployed to. Use the Search box to find the users or groups who you want to deploy the add-in to.
NOTE: Learn about the other states that apply to an add-in. See Add-in states later in this topic.
Select Deploy.
A green tick will appear when the add-in has been deployed. You can follow the on-page instructions to test that the add-in has deployed successfully.

Note

Users may need to relaunch Office to see the add-in icon appear on the ribbon of app. Outlook add-ins can take up to 24 hours to appear on users' ribbons.

When finished, select Next. If you've deployed to just yourself, you can select Change who has access to add-in in order to deploy to more users.

If you've deployed the add-in to members of your organization other than yourself, follow the instructions displayed in order to effectively announce the deployment of the add-in.
You now see your add-in along with other apps in Office 365.

It's a good idea to inform the users and groups who you deployed the add-in to so that they know that it's available. Consider sending an email to them that describes when and how to use the add-in and explains how the add-in can help them do their job better. Include or link to relevant Help content or FAQs that might help if users have any problems with the add-in.

Considerations when assigning an add-in to users and groups

Admins can assign an add-in to everyone or to specific users and groups. Microsoft paint for mac. Each option has implications:

Everyone: As the name implies, this option assigns the add-in to every user in the tenant. Use this option sparingly and only for add-ins that are truly universal to your organization.
Users: If you assign an add-in to an individual user, then to deploy the add-in to a new user, you will need to first add that user. The same goes for removing users.
Groups: If you assign an add-in to a group, users who are added to the group will automatically be assigned the add-in. And, when a user is removed from a group, the user loses access to the add-in. In either case, no additional action is required from you as the admin.
Just me: If you assign an add-in to just yourself, this assigns the add-in to only your account. This is ideal if you wish to test out the add-in first.

The option that is right for your organization depends on your configuration. However, we recommend making assignments via groups. As an admin, you might find it easier to manage add-ins using groups and control the membership of those groups rather than having to change the users assigned each time. On the other hand, in some situations, you may want to restrict access to a very small set of users and therefore make assignments to specific users. As a result, you will need to manage the assigned users manually.

Add-in states

Admins can turn on or off the add-ins they deploy for all users from the Microsoft 365 admin center.
