I had created a sample office add-in as per the instructions given in quick start guide and try to do sideloading as per the instructions given in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/dev/add-ins/testing/sideload-an-office-add-in-on-ipad-and-mac

Here to use my addins I need to do following 1. do npm start which start the dev server 2. paste the manifest file to location: /Users//Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Documents/wef

Can someone answer the following question 1. What happens when we installed an add-ins from office-store.? 2. Folder location where add-ins gets placed

Regards, Alam

We have 3 deployment solutions:

  1. Sideload
  2. AppStore
  3. Centralized Deployement

It would be easy for an administrator to deploy Office Add-ins to users and groups within their organization. Add-ins deployed via the admin center are available to users in their Office applications right away, with no client configuration required. You can use Centralized Deployment to deploy internal add-ins as well as add-ins provided by ISVs.
