Setting up the Outlook Web add-in

The Outlook web add-in is a web client that runs inside the Outlook add-in panel. It can be side loaded from a local manifest file or added from your M365 integrated apps.

Side loading is a process that lets you add the add-in directly from a local copy of the manifest file. It may be blocked by your organization's M365 policies.

For either option, you will need a manifest file for your server.

  1. Log in as a system administrator.
  2. From the administration menu select System configuration > Settings > General > Client options.
  3. Next to Get the Outlook OWA add-in manifest, press Download.

More information on adding applications to your organization’s add-in store, adding them to your Outlook, and side loading is available from Microsoft.
