The Office 365 manifest install uses the URL
AC Pro Version 5.2
Office365 Manifest AC 5.2
- Note: AC Plus users should use the manifest url on page https://accelerator.crmtogether.com/index.php?title=AC_Plus_Client_Install
- Note (9 Nov 23) Microsoft have removed the option to add from a url and so you have to save the manifest and add as a file. In 2024 we will have the app on the app store removing the need for all this.

Open https://aka.ms/olksideload and you will be able to add this 'Office365 Manifest AC' you downloaded in from the "My add ins" page./Custom add ins, Add File.

Ideal Configuration
We recommend editing your Outlook settings so the Accelerator button is visible in the toolbar.
1. Go to the Settings gear (1)
2. Click on View all Outlook settings (2)
3. Choose Customize actions
4. Check the Accelerator in the Message surface (located in the Customise actions section) by clicking the check mark next to it.
Removing add-ins
You can log into outlook on the web and then in the same browser open https://aka.ms/olksideload find the add-in in the Custom add-ins section of the dialog box that lists your installed add-ins. Choose the ellipsis (...) for the add-in and then choose Remove to remove that specific add-in.
And from there remove the add in. Sometimes though in your Outlook Classic client things get stuck and so you may need to manually clear the cache. Follow the steps below (at your own risk):
1. Close Outlook.
2. Open the Run command by pressing the Windows key + R.
3. Type %localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook\ and press Enter.
4. Delete all the files and folders in the folder that opens.
5. Restart Outlook and check if the new version of the add-in is removed.
