How to deploy Templafy Web Add-ins with manifest file

For a better user experience, Templafy supports deploying the web add-ins (Office online & Mac) using a manifest.xml file. Please follow steps in this article. 

Pre-requisites/requirements

• Check all requirements: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/manage/centralized-deployment-of-add-ins?view=o365-worldwide.
  • Highlighting: On a Windows device, Version 1704 or later of Office 365 ProPlus. On a Mac, Version 15.34 or later.
• You need to be a Global Azure Admin to perform the below steps
• Contact Templafy Support at support@templafy.com for a custom manifest.xml file

Seamless SSO and provisioning

For SSO to work without user interaction, you must reach out to Templafy Support for a custom manifest.xml file. This is to ensure that users are redirected correctly to your tenant-URL to initiate the SP-login and provision the users correctly to your own tenant.

Step-by-step guide deployment

1. Go to the O365 Admin Portal (https://admin.microsoft.com)
2. Click "Settings"
3. Click "Services & add-ins"
4. Click"+ Deploy Add-In"
5. Click "Next" and "Upload custom apps"
6. Select "I have the manifest file (.xml) on this device." and click "Choose file"
7. Browse location of the manifest file (.xml) for upload
8. Click "Upload"
9. Select which Users/Groups should have access (or "Everyone") and click "Deploy" 

It will take up to 10 minutes or so for the add-in to be deployed. You will receive an email notification confirming your successful deployment. Users might need to relaunch ‎Office‎ to see the add-in icon in the ribbon​.

NOTE: If you target specific users /groups to get the Add-in assigned, the WebAdd-in may not show up automatically but has to be manually added by the user from the Admin managed part of the Add-in store (It is pushed but showing)
