Resources element

  • Article

Contains icons, strings, and URLs for the VersionOverrides node. A manifest element specifies a resource by using the id of the resource. This helps to keep the size of the manifest manageable, especially when resources have versions for different locales. An id must be unique within the manifest and can have a maximum of 32 characters.

Add-in type: Task pane, Mail

Valid only in these VersionOverrides schemas:

  • Task pane 1.0
  • Mail 1.0
  • Mail 1.1

For more information, see Version overrides in the add-in only manifest.

Each resource can have one or more <Override> child elements to define a different resource for a specific locale.
