Outlook.Com under Manage Add-Ins I Don't See A Plus

[DavidJSnyder]

I'm following instructions to try from an Outlook.Com account. When I go to Manage Add-Ins I don't see a toolbar with a + on it to select Add From File, instead only a list of Add-Ins from the Store. Is that part of the instructions out of date? If Outlook.com has disabled the Add From File functionality what's a good alternative for testing in development?

Hmm. That looks like the Add-in store in desktop Outlook. Did you logon to your Outlook.com account in your browser? The add from file functionality is only available in the web client.

It's part of a screenshot from IE 11 going to Outlook.com on a Windows 7 machine. It also looks like that in Chrome.

Ah ok. Let me check with the folks who manage this. None of my accounts have this UI, so let me see what's going on :)

[jasonjoh]

Ok. It looks like your account has gotten the new in-client store that's rolling out. You should be able to get to the right place by clicking the gear, going to Options. Then in the left-hand nav expand General, and click Manage add-ins.

Let me know if that works and I'll update the instructions.

Yes, that works, thanks.
