Feb 01, 2017  Up till now, Outlook add-ins have been available to Outlook users on the web and Windows, and we’ve recently expanded add-in support to Outlook for Mac as part of the Office Insider program. We’re now excited to bring add-ins to Outlook mobile, starting with Outlook on IOS, with support for Android coming soon.

You can remove an add-in that you've previously sideloaded on Windows, Mac, or iOS by clearing the Office cache on your computer.

Additionally, if you make changes to your add-in's manifest (for example, update file names of icons or text of add-in commands), you should clear the Office cache and then re-sideload the add-in using updated manifest. Doing so will allow Office to render the add-in as it's described by the updated manifest.

Clear the Office cache on Windows

To remove all sideloaded add-ins from Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, delete the contents of the folder:

To remove a sideloaded add-in from Outlook, use the steps outlined in Sideload Outlook add-ins for testing to find the add-in in the Custom add-ins section of the dialog box that lists your installed add-ins. Choose the ellipsis (...) for the add-in and then choose Remove to remove that specific add-in.

Additionally, to clear the Office cache on Windows 10 when the add-in is running in Microsoft Edge, you can use the Microsoft Edge DevTools.

Tip

Mac

If you're just wanting the sideloaded add-in to reflect recent changes to its HTML or JavaScript source files, you shouldn't need to use the following steps to clear the cache. Instead, just put focus in the add-in's task pane (by clicking anywhere within the task pane) and then press F5 to reload the add-in.

Note

To clear the Office cache using the following steps, your add-in must have a task pane. If your add-in is a UI-less add-in -- for example, one that uses the on-send feature -- you'll need to add a task pane to your add-in that uses the same domain for SourceLocation, before you can use the following steps to clear the cache.

  1. Install the Microsoft Edge DevTools.

  2. Open your add-in in the Office client.

  3. Run the Microsoft Edge DevTools.

  4. In the Microsoft Edge DevTools, open the Local tab. Your add-in will be listed by its name.

  5. Select the add-in name to attach the debugger to your add-in. A new Microsoft Edge DevTools window will open when the debugger attaches to your add-in.

  6. On the Network tab of the new window, select the Clear cache button.

  7. If completing these steps doesn't produce the desired result, you can also select the Always refresh from server button.

Clear the Office cache on Mac

Add-ins are often cached in Office for Mac, for performance reasons. Normally, the cache is cleared by reloading the add-in. If more than one add-in exists in the same document, the process of automatically clearing the cache on reload might not be reliable.

You can clear the cache by using the personality menu of any task pane add-in.

  • Choose the personality menu. Then choose Clear Web Cache.

    Note

    You must run macOS version 10.13.6 or later to see the personality menu.

You can also clear the cache manually by deleting the contents of the ~/Library/Containers/com.Microsoft.OsfWebHost/Data/ folder.

Note

If that folder doesn't exist, check for the following folders and if found, delete the contents of the folder:

  • ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.{host}/Data/Library/Caches/ where {host} is the Office host (e.g., Excel)
  • ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.{host}/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/16.0/Wef/ where {host} is the Office host (e.g., Excel)
  • com.microsoft.Office365ServiceV2/Data/Caches/com.microsoft.Office365ServiceV2/

Clear the Office cache on iOS

To clear the Office cache on iOS, call window.location.reload(true) from JavaScript in the add-in to force a reload. Alternatively, you can reinstall Office.

You can now get Office Add-ins from the Store or use Add-ins you already have from right within recent versions of Word for Mac and Excel for Mac.

There are two kinds of add-ins: Office Add-ins from the Office Store (which use web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and add-ins made by using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

If you're looking for a built-in add-in such as Solver or Analysis ToolPak, select the Tools menu and then select Add-ins.

    • Office for Mac doesn't currently support organization-based add-ins.
