To install the Office Connector (henceforth referred to as "OC"), install an OC the exact same way you would install a Media Manager 5 (MM).


Admin Configuration

Next, download the following file:

manifest-localhost.xml


Replace all references to localhost, with the OC site reference. E.g. if OC is installed at oc.digizuite.com, then replace localhost with oc.digizuite.com.

The title and the description should also be changed appropriately.

If Centralized Deployment is possible (see Digizuite™ Office Connector 2.0 - 0. Requirements), do the following:

  1. If there are any labels that need to be changed in the ribbon, they are found in the bottom of the XML file, and can be replaced as one sees fit.
  2. The XML file is now ready to be installed and distributed via an Office 365 admin account. This is done by following the installation steps at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/publish/centralized-deployment.

If instead the OC must be published to an app catalog with an on-premises SharePoint Server, the following installation steps must be followed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/publish/publish-task-pane-and-content-add-ins-to-an-add-in-catalog. This documentation also includes how to access the OC from the client side, and thus, you can skip to the last picture on this page. Please be aware of the limitations of following this approach: Digizuite™ Office Connector 2.0 - 0. Requirements. 


Installing on the client computers

Now make sure that your Office instance is logged in.

There are two options for logging in - one is for the licensing of the Office product itself, whereas the other one is for your account.

Go to File → Account and login. The image below shows which is the correct option to login with:

Logging it with the "wrong option" above, will not have any effect on the Office Connector. Just be aware that, only the option to the left will grant you access to the connector.


Click the Insert tab in the top of your Office program.

Now click My Add-ins (See image)

In the following dialog, go to ADMIN MANAGED. In here, the connector should now be an option

The Open button will then be available on the insert ribbon page. 

You should now have a button called Digizuite to the far right of the connector. Press this button

Login using a user set up to use OC.

Now you should be able to use the connector as you'd like to see fit.


If you want to install it for another computer - you need to do the last steps again - starting from the section where you access the Office Add-ins and press ADMIN MANAGED.

If you have installed OC on a device for one Office product (e.g. Word), you will automatically get the connector on the two remaining Office products (e.g. Excel and PowerPoint).
