Deploy Office Word Add-in to office store

The office word-in contains two projects i.e the add-in that contains the manifest file and web.

On the Microsoft site there is only a step to deploy the manifest file, how do I deploy the web project? How does the manifest file reference the web project?

Solution

  • It sounds like from your description that you are using Visual Studio to create your Word Add-in with the standard template. Visual Studio can help you with the steps of deploying your website and updating the manifest. Here's how:

    -On the Add-in Project in Visual Studio, choose Publish.

    -Create a new Publishing Profile

    -Deploy the Web Project

    -Return to the Publish your add-in page and choose Package the add-in. It will give you an option to choose the location of the web project that you just published.
