Add-in commands enable developers to extend the Office user interface such as the Office Ribbon to create awesome, efficient to use add-ins. Watch this channel9 video for a complete overview. The examples in this repo show you how to use add-in commands in Excel, Word and PowerPoint add-ins. If you are looking for information about commands for Outlook head to http://dev.outlook.com
Here is how the samples look when running:
Existing Tab
Office Desktop: Ensure that you have the latest version of Office installed. Add-in commands require build 16.0.6769.0000 or higher (16.0.6868.0000 recommended). Learn how to Install the latest version of Office applications.
Office Online: There is no additional setup. Please note that support for commands in Office Online for work/school accounts is in preview.
Office for Mac: Ensure that you have build 15.33+
We strongly recommend you to use one of our sample manifests as a starting point, the Simple example is a good one to get going. Once you make it work then you can start making small modifications and test your changes often. If you make modifications, use the Manifest reference as a guide. You can also validate your xml using the Office Add-in Validator **. For Office Windows clients you can also use Runtime Logging to debug your manifest.
You can also use the latest Visual Studio Tools to create and debug your add-in. See next step.
To test your add-in you must register it with Office. Two methods are currently supported:
Office Desktop. Sideload your add-in via a network share.
Insert>My Add-ins>Shared Folder and click the Refresh button to ensure the Add-in shows. Do this any time you need to refresh your Ribbon.Office Online. Open the Add-ins dialog via Insert>Office Add-ins then select [Manage My Add-ins]>Upload My Add-in and upload the manifest file you want to test. To remove a sideloaded add-in you have to clear your HTML LocalStorage
Office for Mac. Sideload your add-in on the Mac
Insert>Office Add-ins and click on the add-in to install it.Once you have the latest, the new VS templates include support for add-in commands. You can also deploy your add-ins to Windows Desktop clients using F5.
