Outlook add-in API preview requirement set

  • Articolo

The Outlook add-in API subset of the Office JavaScript API includes objects, methods, properties, and events that you can use in an Outlook add-in.

Preview APIs are subject to change and aren't intended for use in a production environment. We recommend that you try them out in test and development environments only. Don't use preview APIs in a production environment or within business-critical documents.

To use preview APIs:

  • You must use the preview version of the Office JavaScript API library from the Office.js content delivery network (CDN). The type definition file for TypeScript compilation and IntelliSense is found at the CDN and DefinitelyTyped. You can install these types with npm install --save-dev @types/office-js-preview (be sure to remove the types for @types/office-js if you've previously installed them).

  • You may need to join the Microsoft 365 Insider program for access to more recent Office builds in Outlook on Windows and on Mac.

  • You may need to configure the Targeted release option on your Microsoft 365 tenant to preview features in Outlook on the web. For more information, see the "Targeted release" section of Set up the Standard or Targeted release options.

The preview requirement set includes all of the features of requirement set 1.14.

Important

This documentation is for a preview requirement set. This requirement set isn't fully implemented yet, and clients won't accurately report support for it. You shouldn't specify this requirement set in your add-in manifest.
