About this article

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

Prerequisites

 

 

 
  • Please note: Centralized deployment of add-ins requires that the users are using Microsoft 365 Enterprise SKUs: E3/E5/F3 or Business SKUs: Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium (and are signed into Office using their organizational ID), and have Exchange Online and active Exchange Online mailboxes

 

Seamless SSO and provisioning

For SSO to work without user interaction, you must reach out to your Partner or 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 Microsoft 365 Admin Portal (https://admin.microsoft.com)
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Integrated apps

Note

 
  • 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​.

 

If your Office version for Mac is lower than 16.36 (released on 04/13/2020) the web add-in may not automatically display in the ribbon. If this occurs, users will have to manually add the WebAdd-in from the Admin managed part of the Add-in store (WebAdd-in is deployed to O365 devices but not being displayed)
