Following last section of this Official tutorial on debugging an Office.js Add-in
, talks about the Reload
button on the shortcut menu of the add-in during debug mode of an Office.js Add-in project
in VS2017
. But I do not find that Reload
button during debug mode after I click the add-in menu in the MS WORD
ribbon as shown in the screenshot below. Question: Where is that Reload button located?
Last paragraph of the article: Modify code and continue to debug the add-in without having to start the project again:
You can change your code and review the effects of those changes in your add-in without having to close the host application and start the project again. After you change and save your code, open the shortcut menu for the add-in, and then choose Reload.

UPDATE:
Suggestion from @Rick Kirkham
worked. Don't click the upside down triangle that is next to the X
symbol on the top right corner of the Task Pane; instead, just click anywhere on the task pane and an arrow head pointing to the left will appear, and clicking on that arrow will show the Reload
button.
screenshot of my task pane add-in in WORD
In the upper right corner of the add-in's task pane, there is a small rectangle with an arrow head pointing to the left. This is the shortcut menu that it is talking about. You may have to click in that corner to make it visible.
