Side load office add-in?
I've created an office.js add-in that I can test with debugging in VS Code.
I have deployed it including the manifest to a web site, but now I can't find the option to add it to my Excel anymore, where has that option gone?
I'm on Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2602 Build 16.0.19725.20126) 64-bit
Thanks GJ

Hello gjvdkamp,
You can sideload your Office.js add‑in in Excel 365 by going to Insert → Add‑ins → Get Add‑ins → My Add‑ins, then choose Upload My Add‑in or Add a Custom Add‑in → Add from File and select your manifest. If you don’t see it click Manage My Add‑ins at the bottom of the dialog. For a shared folder you can add the folder under File → Options → Trust Center → Trust Center Settings → Trusted Add‑in Catalogs, restart Excel and then pick it from My Add‑ins → Shared Folder. This is the supported way to add your manifest for testing and development.
