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 you are 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 Pronestor 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
