BrioDocs

Word & Outlook Add-ins

The BrioDocs add-ins are available on Microsoft Marketplace. Install in a couple of clicks from inside Word or Outlook — no manifest files, no admin access required.

Install from Microsoft Marketplace

Recommended for everyone. Works on Mac and Windows, and updates arrive automatically.

Get the Word add-in on Microsoft Marketplace →Get the Outlook add-in on Microsoft Marketplace →
Or install from inside Office
Word
  1. Insert → Add-ins (or Get Add-ins)
  2. Search the Store for "BrioDocs"
  3. Click Add
Outlook
  1. Open any email → Get Add-ins
  2. Search the Store for "BrioDocs"
  3. Click Add
The add-in needs the BrioDocs desktop app running to work. Start BrioDocs first and wait for the status indicator to turn green.

For Organizations

Deploy to your users centrally. Requires Microsoft 365 Global Admin or Exchange Admin.

1
Open the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Go to admin.microsoft.com and sign in with your Global Admin or Exchange Admin account.
2
Navigate to Integrated apps
Go to Settings → Integrated apps, then click "Get apps".
3
Find BrioDocs
Search for "BrioDocs" and select the Word or Outlook add-in. Because these are published on Microsoft Marketplace, there is no manifest to host or upload.
4
Choose users and deploy
Select which users or groups should receive the add-in, review the requested permissions, then deploy.
5
Repeat for the second add-in
Word and Outlook are separate listings — deploy each one you want your users to have.
Deployed add-ins can take up to 24 hours to appear for users. Deploying from Marketplace means version updates roll out automatically — no redeployment needed.
Deploying from a manifest URL instead

Still supported, and still the path in use by organizations that deployed before the Marketplace listings went live — there is no need to migrate. In Integrated apps choose Upload custom apps, select Office Add-in, then Provide link to manifest file and paste:

If your organization blocks Store add-ins

Some tenants disable installing add-ins from the Office Store. If the Store search above turns up nothing, or the Add button is greyed out, you can load the add-in manually from its manifest file — no admin access needed.
