# How to enable the Word Add-in?
## To ensure a seamless installation of the Concord Word add-in, users may need to coordinate with their IT administrators to adjust certain Microsoft 365 settings. This guide outlines the typical permissions and configurations required.
### **Steps for Admins to Enable Concord Add-in:**
1. **Access to Microsoft 365 Admin Center:**
- Administrators should log in to their Microsoft 365 Admin Center ([https://admin.microsoft.com](https://admin.microsoft.com/)).
2. **Manage Add-in Permissions:**
- Navigate to **Settings** \> **Services & add-ins**.
- Select **Deploy Add-in** at the top of the page.
3. **Approval of the Add-in:**
- Click on **Deploy a new add-in**.
- Choose the option to **Add from the Office Store**, and search for the Concord add-in.
- After finding the Concord add-in, click **Add** to proceed.
4. **Set User Access:**
- Decide if the add-in should be made available to all users or only specific users/groups within the organization.
- If restrictions are necessary, configure user groups accordingly.
5. **Data Access Approval:**
- Review and approve the types of data the Concord add-in will access within Microsoft Word. This typically includes the ability to read and write document content.
6. **Whitelisting (if necessary):**
- If your organization uses firewall or security software that restricts internet traffic, ensure that URLs associated with Concord are whitelisted. Typically, this includes the main Concord website and any cloud services it interacts with.
### **Testing the Installation:**
Once the add-in is deployed, have a test user install it from their Office app by:
- Opening Word, clicking on **Insert** \> **Add-ins** \> **My add-ins**.
- Select the **Admin-managed** tab within the Office Add-ins store, find the Concord add-in, and click **Add**.
### **Troubleshooting Common Issues:**
If users encounter issues during the installation, ensure that:
- They have the necessary permissions to install add-ins.
- There are no conflicting settings or policies at the network or firewall level that might be blocking the add-in’s operation.
