Outlook add-in

Checks the email you have open in Outlook on the web or desktop. Not in the Microsoft store yet, so you add it from a manifest file.

  2. 02Go to aka.ms/olksideload. This opens Outlook on the web.
  3. 03Open My add-ins, then Custom Addins, then Add a custom add-in, then Add from file.

School and work Microsoft 365 accounts often block custom add-ins. If Custom Addins is missing, ask your IT admin to allow it.
