Update through the Add-in library

Caution

Note: Most updates are deployed automatically. Occasionally, when there is a major update, you will be required to update via this manner. XQ will notify you in this case.

1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin. Open the sidebar navigation menu, click Settings and select Integrated apps.
2. From the Integrated apps page, click XQ Outlook Enterprise. A side panel opens:

3. Click Update add-in.
4. Enter the new manifest URL that XQ has shared with you.

Note

Updates usually reach users the next time they restart Outlook, but can take up to 72 hours. Outlook desktop can keep using a cached copy of the old add-in for much longer, sometimes weeks, even after a restart. If a user’s add-in hasn’t updated after 72 hours, clear their Outlook add-in cache. See Clear your cache.
