Note
If you plan to publish your add-in to AppSource and make it available within the Office experience, make sure that you conform to the Commercial marketplace certification policies. For example, to pass validation, your add-in must work across all platforms that support the methods that you define (for more information, see section 1120.3 and the Office Add-in application and availability page).Deployment options by Office application and add-in type

The following sections provide additional information about the deployment methods that are most commonly used to distribute production Office Add-ins to users within an organization.
For information about how end users acquire, insert, and run add-ins, see Start using your Office Add-in.Centralized Deployment via the Microsoft 365 admin center
The Microsoft 365 admin center makes it easy for an administrator to deploy Office Add-ins to users and groups in their organization. Add-ins deployed via the admin center are available to users in their Office applications right away, with no client configuration required. You can use Centralized Deployment to deploy internal add-ins as well as add-ins provided by ISVs.
For more information, see Publish Office Add-ins using Centralized Deployment via the Microsoft 365 admin center.SharePoint app catalog deployment
A SharePoint app catalog is a special site collection that you can create to host Word, Excel, and PowerPoint add-ins. Because SharePoint catalogs don't support new add-in features implemented in the VersionOverrides node of the manifest, including add-in commands, we recommend that you use Centralized Deployment via the admin center if possible. Add-in commands deployed via a SharePoint catalog open in a task pane by default.
If you are deploying add-ins in an on-premises environment, use a SharePoint catalog. For details, see Publish task pane and content add-ins to a SharePoint catalog.
Note
SharePoint catalogs do not support Office on Mac. To deploy Office Add-ins to Mac clients, you must submit them to AppSource.Outlook add-in deployment
For on-premises and online environments that do not use the Azure AD identity service, you can deploy Outlook add-ins via the Exchange server.
Outlook add-in deployment requires:
*Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, or Exchange Server 2013 or later
*Outlook 2013 or later
To assign add-ins to tenants, you use the Exchange admin center to upload a manifest directly, either from a file or a URL, or add an add-in from AppSource. To assign add-ins to individual users, you must use Exchange PowerShell. For details, see Install or remove Outlook add-ins for your organization on TechNet.See also
