This article is for IT administrators. The steps below require a Microsoft 365 admin role such as Global Admin or Exchange Admin. If you don't have this access, forward these instructions to whoever manages your Microsoft 365 tenant.
Note: Redeploying from the Microsoft 365 admin center is the recommended path for org-wide add-in issues, especially when users can't reinstall individually from Marketplace.
When to Use This
Use centralized deployment if:
Multiple users cannot install the ExtendInsights add-in.
Users receive errors when installing from Microsoft AppSource.
An Office update has prevented the add-in from loading.
You want to deploy the add-in to users without requiring individual installation.
Option A: If an Update option is available
If an Update option is available:
Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (admin.microsoft.com).
Go to Settings → Integrated apps.
Select the ExtendInsights Data Connector for Excel add-in.
Select Update.
Allow time for the update to propagate to assigned users.
Option B: If Update is not shown, redeploy from Microsoft AppSource or Marketplace
Sign in to admin.microsoft.com.
Go to Settings → Integrated apps → Add-ins → Deploy Add-in → Microsoft Marketplace.
Select Get apps.
Search for "ExtendInsights Data Connector for Excel" and select the add-in.
Choose which users or groups should receive the add-in: the entire organization, specific groups, or named users.
Accept the requested permissions → Finish.
Propagation time
New deployments can take up to 24 hours to appear for all users.
Updates and changes (including turning an add-in on or off) can take up to 72 hours.
If users are still within these timeframes, this is expected behavior, and no further action is required.
Verification
Deployment is complete when:
The ExtendInsights add-in appears in Excel for assigned users.
Users can open the add-in without installing it manually.
