One of the big benefits of using add ins is that there’s no need to leave the Office application you’re currently using in order to complete additional tasks in the Office Suite. This means workflows can be implemented in Outlook or SharePoint for example to automate processes that result in streamlining tasks that would otherwise involve entering the same data again somewhere else. Add ins can also improve collaboration between people on the same document in Word Excel or PowerPoint whilst maintaining live synchronisation so that everyone can remain on the same page.
What’s made this possible was the launch of Microsoft’s Office in and the new Office Add ins platform which brought big changes to the way Office Add ins were developed. The old COM and VSTO add ins that were being used in earlier Email Marketing List Office integration solutions ran code on the user’s device or in the Office client and could be buggy causing an app to hang. The new Office Add ins are much more stable and use a different approach which we discuss next. Extending Office With Add ins There are two ways to get add ins that extend and interact with Office applications. The first is to browse the list of Office Add ins in your app or search for one in Microsoft’s AppSource store.
Some of these will be free others have paid upgrades. The second is to build an add in that brings new features to an Office program using the skills of a developer. Since the launch of Office Microsoft has made it easier for devs to create new add ins or upgrade existing ones. They did this by moving developers to a new cross platform JavaScript based add in model. This model means the same add in can supposedly run wherever Office is being used without having to modify the code on smartphones PCs and the web.
