[<CommonParameters>]Description
If the app is enabled for the entire organization, users can activate the new app when viewing mail or calendar items within Microsoft Outlook or Outlook on the web. If an installed app isn't enabled, users can enable the app from Outlook on the web Options. Similarly, administrators can enable installed apps from the Exchange admin center or by using the Enable-App or Set-App cmdlet.
For more information, see Manage user access to add-ins for Outlook in Exchange Server and Manage deployment of add-ins in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
