How do I use new <ExtensionPoint xsi:type="Module"> in my Outlook add-in?

Question

At the Build 2016 Microsoft announced that now developers can extend Outlook 2016 using new extension point called "Module".

I have installed Visual Studio Update 2 and the latest tools for Office. I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016.

Now I am trying to add new "Module" to my manifest file, but there is no such type available: see this screenshot.

I have also tried Outlook-Add-in-JavaScript-ModuleExtension sample project and was able to run it and deploy manifest to my Office 365 account, but I can not see the new Module in my Outlook.

Am I missing something? How can I use new Module extension point for Outlook?

You need to use build 65XX or higher for extensions to work.
