Note: You will need an Office/Microsoft 365 account in order to install Add-ins on Outlook for Mac. Office 365 accounts are not the same as your regular CSHL account and have their own password*. If you do not have an Office 365 account, contact the IT Helpdesk and we can get you one, with no cost to you or your lab/dept. Once your Office 365 account has been set up, you can proceed to the next steps.

*Coming soon, All CSHL accounts will have Office 365 accounts linked automatically and will use the same password.

1. In the Outlook App on your Mac, click the "Get Add-ins" button. This will open your web browser to your current list of Add-ins:



2. Click the "+" button and then choose "Add from the Office Store". It will then take you to the Office Add-ins Store



3. Once in the Office Store, make sure it says you're signed in on the top right. If it shows the "Sign in" button, sign in using your Office 365 account password*(See note at the top about Office 365 passwords)

You can use the search bar at the top to find Add-ins as well as the front-page.


4. Click the "Get it now" button on the Add-in you want. Then click the button again on the little window that pops up. It will load and take you to a new window.






5. Press the "Yes" button in the new window. It will take you back to your list of Add-ins for the final step.


6. Press the "Install" button on the right side.

7. The Add-in should now appear in your list of Add-ins. If the install for some reason failed, try it again. Close the Outlook App and reopen and the Add-in should now be there. Depending on the Add-in, you'll either see it to the right of your "Get Add-ins" button or in the toolbar while you're creating an email.
