Update Office manifest private host

Question

How can I update Office (Word) manifest after deploying, when the manifest is deployed via Office 365 admin center and the add-in is hosted on private Azure - so not the public Microsoft Store.

The new manifest is uploaded in Office 365 admin center, but users still see the previous add-in/manifest.

Answer 1

The updated manifest will not be pulled unless there is a change in your version number. If the version remains the same it will use the cached version until that cache expires. Once the version changes it will force the cached manifest to be purged from the local machine.

Answer 2

This is due to the validation code we currently have in production. We are working to get that updated to unblock this
