We use XML Manifest for Office Add-ins which were deployed using Centralized Deployment method in Azure active directory. Ideally, we were trying to implement our document classification feature in Office(online) task pane by using these manifest Office Add-ins. On the other hand, We have a stable desktop office VSTO Add-in for classifying documents.
That being said, newly added Manifest Office Add-in is showing up in our desktop versions of Office, which we don't want to display since we already have a desktop version of software. I looked for the documentation related to Office Add-in and manifests from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/develop/add-in-manifests?tabs=tabid-1 , https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/overview/office-add-ins-fundamentals , and an existing compatability check from here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/develop/make-office-add-in-compatible-with-existing-com-add-in None of these options gives us any convening answer on not to display the Office-js Add-in on desktop version, since we also looking for not to display the office-js add-in irrespective of the existence of equivalent COM-Addin.
In a nutshell, my goal is to restrict the office add-in task pane to online version only and not to display in desktop version of office.Any helpful information or any equivalent workaround in JS is much appreciated to solve this basic problem.
