Word Add-in in javascript

Question

Hello,

I create my first-word add-in in javascript API. it works perfectly when I debug my visual studio but after saving the document, and I open this document it will show me the error below:

This add-in is no longer available: add-ins inserted during development are only available during debugging from Visual Studio.

I tried it manually.

For Example, File->Info->Inspect Check for Issues -> Inspect Document -> Inspect.

Then on "Task Pane Add-ins" click Remove All.

But I am looking for code for this one so whenever I save the file it will automatically inspect the document without following the above step.

Is this possible in word add-in javascript API? please help me for this.

Thank you,
Damini

Hi there,

I'm in my journey to learn Word Add-in development too.
To test and debug I created a network shared folder following the official documentation below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/create-a-network-shared-folder-catalog-for-task-pane-and-content-add-ins

I hope it helps!
Happy Coding!
