KI 1914 Microsoft 365 Add-ins

This article describes how you can add an add-in to programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Office Add-Ins are problematic due to data processing rules. An assessment of what kind of data the application or add-in needs from the UiB-account, where this data is sent and how this data is processed. This assessment needs to be done regularly, and we do not have the recourses to do this at the time. We do, however, offer pilots on a few of these programs, such as Mendeley. To gain access to this, you must create a call.

The method is the same for Windows and Mac.
