Install the add-in

Skola for Microsoft Word

Download the manifest file and sideload it into Word. Requires Microsoft 365 (Word 2016 perpetual or Word Online do not support sideloading). You only need to do this once per device.

↓ Download manifest.xml

Download manifest.xml using the button.
In Word, click the Insert tab → click Get Add-ins.
In the dialog that opens, click the MY ADD-INS tab at the top.
Click Upload My Add-in (link in the upper-right of the dialog) → select the downloaded file.
Skola appears in the Home ribbon — click it to open the pane and log in.

Don’t see “Upload My Add-in”? Your Microsoft 365 plan or organisation may restrict sideloading. Try: File → Options → Trust Center → Trust Center Settings → Trusted Add-in Catalogs, add the folder where you saved manifest.xml, restart Word, then find Skola under Insert → Get Add-ins → MY ADD-INS → Shared Folder.
