outlook web addin manifest changes not reflecting even after changing the manifest version on localost

I changed the Display Name and Description attributes in the manifest and published the addin (on localhost:3000). when I open the outlook addin on web, the changes are not reflecting.

I cleared the browser cache, deleted all the files under ..\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef followed all the steps given in how do you clear the outlook addon | add ins cache via browser?

still the new values/changes are not reflected. I can see old manifest file in below folder.

AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef{GUID}{GUID}\Manifests ...

Solution

  • Manifest update scenario works only for store addins. For side loaded addin, you need to remove the already installed addin and add it again.
