Adding the Office manifest file in a shared folder provides an alternative way to your end users to install the SigningHub for Word add-in on their local machines, instead of accessing the Office store for it. This is also helpful in maintaining a centralised location to add and upgrade the manifest file, so that all the end users of your organisation can access the same latest version.
Add the Office manifest file in your shared folder- Customise the Office manifest file. This is an optional step and is only executed when you have got a private on premises deployment of SigningHub. In such a case you would need to customise the Office manifest file according to your deployment URL.
For this, open the file in a text editor and look for the "SourceLocation” element with the URL which is to be used for the communication between the Microsoft office and the targeted server. The default value of URL is:
“https://office.signinghub.com/app/Default.aspx", now update this URL according to your deployment URL, and save the changes.
- After updating the URL, place the Office manifest file in a shared folder of your local network.
Upgrade the Office manifest file in your shared folder
When a new version of SigningHub for Word add-in is released, you can upgrade its manifest file on your shared folder to make it available for your end users. For this:
- Customise the manifest file as explained above (if required).
- Replace the old manifest file with the latest one in your shared folder.
