Step 2: Implementation to PowerPoint

You can implement the plugin locally on your computer or globally for a user group:

• Local Client Installation
• Global Admin Installation

After implementation, the add-in will be added to the Office Add-Ins window you reach via Insert > My Add-ins, where it can be activated.

After activation, the 4ALLPORTAL plugin shows on the ribbon, tab Home > 4ALLPORTAL DAM:

Local Client Installation

To implement the 4ALLPORTAL into your PowerPoint application locally, follow the instructions depending on the client you use PowerPoint with:

• Windows (locale PowerPoint)
• macOS (locale PowerPoint)
• Web browser

Windows

For Windows, you have to share a folder and add it to PowerPoint's Trust Center. Just follow these 3 steps:

Step 1: Create and Share a Folder

1. Open the File Explorer and go to the folder you want to use as your shared folder catalog (manifest.xml will be stored here later).

2. Right click the folder and choose Properties.

3. Within the Properties window, click tab Sharing, then under "Network File and Folder Sharing" click Share ....

4. Within the File sharing window, add yourself and any other users/groups with whom you want to share the plugin. You will need at least Read/Write permissions on the folder. Click Add, then Share.

5. When you see the confirmation that the folder is now shared, copy the full network path that is displayed following the folder name.
   Example: \\DELLXPS-DOE\Users\j.doe\Desktop\PowerPoint-Plugin
   Please note: You will need to enter this value as the Catalog URL when you specify the shared folder as a trusted catalog, as described in the next section.

6. Click Done to close the Network access window, and close the Properties window.

Step 2: Add Folder to PowerPoint Trust Center

1. Open a new document in PowerPoint.

2. Open tab File, then choose Options.

3. Choose Trust Center, then click Trust Center Settings.

4. Choose Trusted Add-in Catalogs.

5. Enter the full network path to the folder including its name to the Catalog URL box and click Add catalog.
   In case you failed to copy the folder's full network path, you can get it from the folder's Properties dialog window.

6. Select check box Show in Menu for the newly added item, then click OK to close the Trust Center dialog window and OK to close the Options dialog window.

7. Close and reopen Office, so your changes will take effect.

Step 3: Add the 4ALLPORTAL to PowerPoint

1. Move the manifest.xml file you downloaded from the 4ALLPORTAL into your shared folder catalog.

2. In PowerPoint, open tab Insert and choose My Add-ins to open the Office Add-ins dialog box.

3. Choose Shared Folder at the top.

4. Choose 4ALLPORTAL and click Add to insert the plugin.

5. The plugin now shows on the ribbon, tab Home.

macOS

1. Open Terminal.

2. Enter "open /Users//Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Powerpoint/Data/Documents/wef" to open folder wef in the Finder.

3. If the wef folder does not exist on your computer, enter "open /Users//Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Powerpoint/Data/Documents" to open folder Documents in your Finder. Create folder wef and open it.

4. Copy your manifest.xml to this folder.

5. Open a new document in PowerPoint (restart PowerPoint if already running).

6. Choose Insert from the Ribbon, then Add-ins, then My Add-ins.

7. Click the drop-down menu (small down-arrow next to My Add-ins) and select and add 4ALLPORTAL.

8. The plugin now shows on the ribbon, tab Home.

Web Browser

1. Open a PowerPoint presentation in your web browser (office.com).

2. Choose tab Insert, then choose Add-Ins.

3. Choose Manage my Add-Ins, then choose Upload my Add-In.

4. Select the manifest.xml.

5. The plugin now shows on the ribbon, tab Home.

Please note: Microsoft 365 does not support the Internet Explorer.

Global Admin Installation

As an admin, you can add the plugin to PowerPoint for all users, or a user group. The plugin then lists in section ADMIN MANAGED at the top of the Office Add-Ins dialog box.

Requirements

• Office Admin Center (opens new window)
• Admin access rights
• Centralized Deployment of PowerPoint

Before you begin, determine if Centralized Deployment of add-ins works for your organization.

1. Open Office Admin Center and go to the Settings > Integrated apps.

2. Select Upload custom apps and upload the manifest.xml.

3. Select an option and follow the instructions.

4. On the next page, select Everyone, Specific users/groups, or Just you to specify to whom the add-in should be deployed. Use the Search box to find specific users or groups.

5. Select Deploy. When finished, select Next. If you've deployed to just yourself, you can select Change to deploy the add-in to more users.

6. In PowerPoint, the plugin now shows on the ribbon, tab Home. At mouse over, the information tells users, this add-in is Admin managed.

Users might need to relaunch Office to view the add-in icon (Show Taskpane) on their PowerPoint ribbon. Add-ins can take some time to appear on app ribbons.

If it does not show, users should try to add it via tab Insert > My Add-ins > Office Add-ins (like described above).

Global Updates

Please note that not all plugin updates require an update of the manifest.xml. If an update works without updating the manifest.xml, no update action is required in the Office Admin Center.

Centralized Deployment of PowerPoint

With Microsoft Centralized Deployment Compatibility Checker, you can verify whether the users on your tenant are set up to use Centralized Deployment for PowerPoint.
