Install

The Acrolinx for Microsoft Office 365 integration may be installed two different ways depending on whether your organization centrally manages the distribution of Microsoft Add-ins.

Install from the Add-ins

To install Acrolinx for organizations without centrally-managed add-ins, do the following:

  1. From the main ribbon in your Microsoft Application, click the Add-ins button
  2. At the bottom of the pop-up window, click More Add-ins.
  3. In the search box, search for Acrolinx
  4. The Acrolinx for Microsoft 365 Office add-in should appear in the search results.
  5. Click the Add button, then accept the license terms and privacy policy by clicking Continue.
  6. Restart the application as needed.

If this method does not work and you are unable to install add-ins directly within the application, you may need to contact your Microsoft administrator to install the add-in from Microsoft Appsource.

Install from the Microsoft Appsource

To install Acrolinx in a centrally-managed environment, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
  2. Go to Settings > Integrated apps.
  3. Click Get apps and search for "Acrolinx" This should return 2 results: Acrolinx for Microsoft 365 Office and Acrolinx for Microsoft 365 Outlook.
  4. Click Get it now next to the app you want to install.
  5. Adjust the settings and audience for the app and click Deploy.

 

Update

  1. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 admin account.
