You can use the Office Add-ins platform to build solutions that extend Office applications and interact with content in Office documents. With Office Add-ins, you can use familiar web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to extend and interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Project, and Outlook. Your solution can run in Office across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, iPad, and in a browser.

Office Add-ins can do almost anything a webpage can do inside a browser. Use the Office Add-ins platform to:

  • Add new functionality to Office clients - Bring external data into Office, automate Office documents, expose third-party functionality in Office clients, and more. For example, use Microsoft Graph API to connect to data that drives productivity.

  • Create new rich, interactive objects that can be embedded in Office documents - Embed maps, charts, and interactive visualizations that users can add to their own Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.

How are Office Add-ins different from COM and VSTO add-ins?

COM or VSTO add-ins are earlier Office integration solutions that run only in Office on Windows. Unlike COM add-ins, Office Add-ins don't involve code that runs on the user's device or in the Office client. For an Office Add-in, the application (for example, Excel), reads the add-in manifest and hooks up the add-in’s custom ribbon buttons and menu commands in the UI. When needed, it loads the add-in's JavaScript and HTML code, which executes in the context of a browser in a sandbox.

Office Add-ins provide the following advantages over add-ins built using VBA, COM, or VSTO:

  • Cross-platform support. Office Add-ins run in Office on the web, Windows, Mac, and iPad.

  • Centralized deployment and distribution. Admins can deploy Office Add-ins centrally across an organization.

  • Easy access via AppSource. You can make your solution available to a broad audience by submitting it to AppSource.

  • Based on standard web technology. You can use any library you like to build Office Add-ins.

Components of an Office Add-in

An Office Add-in includes two basic components: an XML manifest file, and your own web application. The manifest defines various settings, including how your add-in integrates with Office clients. Your web application needs to be hosted on a web server, or web hosting service, such as Microsoft Azure.

Manifest

The manifest is an XML file that specifies settings and capabilities of the add-in, such as:

  • The add-in's display name, description, ID, version, and default locale.

  • How the add-in integrates with Office.

  • The permission level and data access requirements for the add-in.

Web app

The most basic Office Add-in consists of a static HTML page that is displayed inside an Office application, but that doesn't interact with either the Office document or any other Internet resource. However, to create an experience that interacts with Office documents or allows the user to interact with online resources from an Office client application, you can use any technologies, both client and server side, that your hosting provider supports (such as ASP.NET, PHP, or Node.js). To interact with Office clients and documents, you use the Office.js JavaScript APIs.

Extending and interacting with Office clients

Office Add-ins can do the following within an Office client application:

Extend Office functionality

You can add new functionality to Office applications via the following:

  • Custom ribbon buttons and menu commands (collectively called “add-in commands”)

  • Insertable task panes

Custom UI and task panes are specified in the add-in manifest.

Custom buttons and menu commands

You can add custom ribbon buttons and menu items to the ribbon in Office on the web and on Windows. This makes it easy for users to access your add-in directly from their Office application. Command buttons can launch different actions such as showing a task pane with custom HTML or executing a JavaScript function.

Task panes

You can use task panes in addition to add-in commands to enable users to interact with your solution. Clients that do not support add-in commands (Office 2013 and Office on iPad) run your add-in as a task pane. Users launch task pane add-ins via the My Add-ins button on the Insert tab.

Extend Outlook functionality

Outlook add-ins can extend the Office app ribbon and also display contextually next to an Outlook item when you're viewing or composing it. They can work with an email message, meeting request, meeting response, meeting cancellation, or appointment when a user is viewing a received item or replying or creating a new item.

Outlook add-ins can access contextual information from the item, such as an address or tracking ID, and then use that data to access additional information on the server and from web services to create compelling user experiences. In most cases, an Outlook add-in runs without modification in the Outlook application to provide a seamless experience on the desktop, web, and tablet and mobile devices.

For an overview of Outlook add-ins, see Outlook add-ins overview.

Create new objects in Office documents

You can embed web-based objects called content add-ins within Excel and PowerPoint documents. With content add-ins, you can integrate rich, web-based data visualizations, media (such as a YouTube video player or a picture gallery), and other external content.

Office JavaScript APIs

The Office JavaScript APIs contain objects and members for building add-ins and interacting with Office content and web services. There is a common object model that is shared by Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote and Project. There are also more extensive application-specific object models for Excel and Word. These APIs provide access to well-known objects such as paragraphs and workbooks, which makes it easier to create an add-in for a specific application.
