The best way to fire up one of your Office add-ins depends on which application you’re using (Word, Excel, etc.).
Important: Apps for Office have a new name: Office Add-ins. We are currently updating our products, documentation, samples, and other resources to reflect the platform name change from "apps for Office and SharePoint" to "Office and SharePoint Add-ins". We made this change to better distinguish the extension platform from Office apps (applications). While these changes are taking place, the dialogs and messages you see in your application might be different than what you see in this article.
You can use the new web Office Add-ins in most of the Office 2016, Office 2019, and Microsoft 365 applications.
Select a heading below to open it and see the detailed instructions.
