What are the system requirements for Outlook Add-in?

You need to check the following important Outlook and Exchange requirements and restrictions before users can enable the Add-in:

  • Version must be Outlook Live, Microsoft Office 2019 or Microsoft 365.

  • Email account must be hosted on Microsoft Exchange Server, Outlook Live or Microsoft 365.

  • Add-in enabling should NOT be restricted by the network administrator.

  • Your organisation must be storing data via a third-party cloud service. The Add-in is not available to 'on-premise' environments.

Centralised deployment of Office Add-ins

There are two options for centralised deployment of Office Add-ins:

  • If your organisation is using Microsoft 365, follow these instructions to deploy the add-in from the AppSource store.

  • The add-in can also be deployed from its manifest file instead. The latest version of the Add-in's manifest file can be downloaded from https://outlook.simplystakeholders.com/manifest.xml. You can either install it directly from that URL or manually download it and pass it to Exchange.
    Note: This deployment method will make it harder for users to receive some updates in future.
