Word JavaScript API requirement sets
Requirement sets are named groups of API members. Office Add-ins use requirement sets specified in the manifest or use a runtime check to determine whether an Office application supports APIs that an add-in needs. For more information, see Office versions and requirement sets.
Requirement set availability
Word add-ins run across multiple versions of Office, including Office 2016 or later on Windows, and Office on the web, iPad, and Mac. The following table lists the Word requirement sets, the supported Office client applications, and the minimum builds or versions for those applications where applicable.
Note
To use APIs in any of the numbered requirement sets, WordApiOnline, WordApiDesktop, or WordApiHiddenDocument, you should reference the production library on the Office.js content delivery network (CDN).
For information about using preview APIs, see the Word JavaScript preview APIs article.
