System requirements for the Outlook Add-In
Before users can enable the Add-In, check that your organisation meets the following requirements:
Outlook version must be Microsoft 365, Microsoft Office 2019 or newer.
Email accounts must be hosted on Microsoft 365. On-premises Exchange Server environments aren’t supported.
Add-ins must not be blocked by your network administrator.
Centralised deployment of the Outlook Add-In
There are two ways to deploy the Add-In centrally through the Microsoft 365 admin centre:
From AppSource (recommended): Deploy the Simply Stakeholders Add-In from the AppSource store under Integrated Apps. See Microsoft’s guide: Deploy add-ins in the Microsoft 365 admin centre.
From the manifest file: Under Integrated Apps, upload the manifest using the URL https://outlook.simplystakeholders.com/manifest.xml, or download the file and upload it manually.
Note: Deploying from the manifest file can make it harder for users to receive future updates, so AppSource is recommended.
