Installation

SingleDraft can be deployed firm-wide through Microsoft 365 admin tools or installed manually by individual users. Pick the option that matches your access level.

Admin deployment (recommended)

For enterprise environments, deploy the add-in through the Microsoft 365 admin center or your firm’s catalog service.

1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with the appropriate permissions.
2. Navigate to Settings → Integrated apps → Add-ins.
3. Select Upload custom apps and provide the SingleDraft manifest URL.
4. Assign the add-in to your desired groups (pilot teams first is advised).
5. Confirm deployment. Users will see the SingleDraft tab after the next Word restart.

Catalog deployment

If your firm uses a SharePoint or AppSource catalog:

1. Upload the latest SingleDraft.xml manifest to the catalog library.
2. Share the catalog link with lawyers and paralegals.
3. Ask users to add the catalog in Word → Get Add-ins → My Organization and enable SingleDraft.

Individual installation

If you do not have admin access, you can side-load the add-in.

1. Download the manifest file supplied by SingleDraft support.
2. In Word, open Insert → My Add-ins → Upload My Add-in.
3. Select the manifest file and confirm. Word will add the SingleDraft ribbon and sidebar.
4. Pin the task pane for quick access during drafting.

Updating the add-in

• Admin deployments update automatically when the manifest URL is refreshed.
• Individual side-load installations require replacing the manifest file. Use the link provided in the latest release note.

Troubleshooting installation

• If the SingleDraft tab does not appear, make sure COM add-ins are enabled and restart Word.
• Check whether an antivirus or endpoint protection solution blocks add-in manifests from your catalog domain.
• For managed devices, confirm that the Word web add-ins policy allows custom manifests.
• Contact Support with your Office build number and steps already taken.
