Disable web add-in installation on migration to new Outlook for Windows
Microsoft Office 5532.1000
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
This policy setting allows you to disable installation of web add-in equivalents of COM add-ins on the switch to new Outlook. The add-ins available for migration are listed in https://aka.ms/newoutlooksettings. Learn more about Outlook web add-ins at https://learn.microsoft.com/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/outlook-add-ins-overview. COM add-ins do not work in new Outlook for Windows. By default, users in the organization will get the option to install available web add-ins, in place of COM add-ins, when they move from classic Outlook for Windows. If you enable this policy setting, users will not get the option to install web add-ins in place of their COM add-ins. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users will get an option to install web add-ins in place of their COM add-ins.
