How to deploy Thread Office Addin Apps from the Microsoft 365 Admin Centre - Admin

To deploy Office Addins you must have Global Administrator Role Permissions or equivalent to deploy Office Add-ins.

Step 1.  Login


Login to the Office 365 Admin Centre - https://admin.microsoft.com/

Step 2. Admin Page

Click on the Settings Option in the Left Menu 
















Step 3. Apps Page

Click the Integrated Apps Menu Item in the drop down menu


Step 4. Get Apps

Click the Get Apps as highlighted below

Step 5. App Store

Search the App store for Thread - You will find 2 Add ins
Click the Get it Now button on the Add-in you require. 



Step 6 Who to Deploy To

A) Decide if you are going to do a test deployment or not (For these add-ins it is generally unnecessary)
B) Decide who you are going to deploy this to.
            If you have a lot of users who will not use Thread we recommend creating a User Group for Thread Users and only deploying to that group
            If the business is small and all users will use Thread then you can deploy to Entire Organisation.
            For the Template Designer we do recommend you create a group and only deploy to that group as only certain staff should be allowed to code templates.
C) Once you have made your selections Click Next


Step 7.  Final Steps

On the "Accept Permissions Request" page just click Next 

Step 8. 
On the "Review and Finish Deployment" Page just click Finish Deployment
Step 9.
Once you complete Step 8 you will see your Deployment In Progress... for smaller environments this will complete quickly for larger it may take time.
It may take up to 6 hours after deployment before the application appears in the User's desktop / Web applications.

Click Done to finish the installation.
