    There are two possible fixes for this:
    1. Clear out your cookies
    2. Enable third party cookies (this one is mandatory for the Automate tab to appear I'm afraid)

The weird thing is, is that the admin setting was already on. I had them diasable and re-enable it, so maybe it will work tomorrow or next day.

    No, and we turned it off for about 2 days, and back on again and have waited close to 48 hrs again and still nothing. 

     

    I also started a trial with for a O365 App account, which should include it, and I don't get it there either. Others in my organization don't either, though so it definitely seems like a account/server thing, not a specific computer issue. Not sure where to go now. Would really like to use this.

      tjb8907 Is it possible for us to get the session-ID.

      File > About > Session ID. This will help with the investigations. 

       

      Thanks.

    A trial E5 license was enabled for me on Wednesday for me to try the Automate tab. I have all cookies enabled, and the IT team say it is enabled in their Admin centre. However, the Automate tab is not showing up. Any ideas?
