The following work is being completed: Microsoft is retiring the SharePoint Add-In extensibility model across all Microsoft 365 environments and tenants.

All affected groups: Users utilizing SharePoint Add-Ins

All affected processes:

  • SharePoint-hosted Add-Ins and provider-hosted Add-Ins will no longer function.
  • Custom-developed SharePoint Add-Ins will no longer function.
  • Marketplace SharePoint Add-Ins will no longer function.
  • Third-party SharePoint Add-Ins will no longer function.
  • Tenant app catalog functionality for installing and deploying SharePoint Add-Ins will be discontinued.

Duration of impact: This is a permanent, Microsoft-driven change.

Necessary follow-up steps

  • For Third-Party or Marketplace Add-Ins: Contact the provider to obtain a supported version that does not rely on the SharePoint Add-In extensibility model.
