Casa Conect for Word is distributed as an add-in manifest: a small file that tells Word where the add-in lives. Your Microsoft 365 administrator can deploy it to everyone at once, which is the recommended route, or an individual can add it to a single computer.
Ask support@casaconect.ai for the current manifest file. You need an active Casa Conect OS subscription to use the add-in.

​
Before you start

  • A supported version of Word. See Where it runs.
  • A Casa Conect account in an organization with Casa Conect OS.
  • For organization-wide deployment, a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator or Exchange Administrator.
Centralized deployment puts the Casa Conect button on everyone’s Home tab. Users install nothing, and updates arrive automatically.
1

Open Integrated apps

In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Settings → Integrated apps and choose Upload custom apps.
2

Upload the manifest

Choose Office Add-in as the app type, then Upload manifest file (.xml) from device, and select the Casa Conect manifest. Microsoft validates it on upload.
3

Choose who gets it

Assign it to Everyone, to specific users or groups, or to just yourself to try it first.
4

Accept the permission request and deploy

The add-in requests read and write access to the current document. Review this, then choose Finish deployment.
5

Wait for it to appear

Microsoft says an add-in can take up to 24 hours to appear for all users, although it is usually much quicker. Restarting Word helps.

​
Add it to one computer

  1. Open a document in Word on the web.
  2. Choose Home → Add-ins → More Add-ins → My Add-ins → Upload My Add-in.
  3. Select the manifest file and choose Upload.

​
Sign in

1

Open the panel

On the Home tab, choose Casa Conect. The panel opens with Welcome to Casa Conect.
2

Choose Sign in

A dialog opens with your normal Casa Conect sign-in. Enter your email address and the code you receive, and your authenticator code if you use one.
3

Return to Word

When the dialog says “Signed in. You can close this window.”, it closes and the panel is ready.

​
Troubleshooting

Your copy of Office cannot verify where the sign-in dialog’s messages come from, so the add-in refuses to continue rather than accept a sign-in it cannot trust. Update Office and try again.
The dialog was closed before it finished, or a pop-up blocker interfered. Choose Sign in again. On Word on the web, allow pop-ups for the page.
If it was deployed centrally, wait, then restart Word. Check with your administrator that you are included in the assignment. On an iPad the add-in is not available.
Your network may block the add-in’s address. Ask your IT team to allow the Casa Conect hosts and the sign-in provider. Support can supply the list.

​
Remove the add-in

  • Centrally deployed: an administrator removes it under Integrated apps.
  • Added to one computer: remove it from My Add-ins, or delete the manifest from the wef folder on a Mac.
Removing the add-in deletes nothing in Casa Conect. To end the add-in’s access to your account, sign out from the panel’s menu, or end its session under Settings → Security → Sessions.
