How to deploy DraftPilot using Integrated Apps

Most users will download DraftPilot via the Microsoft App store. If that is not an option within your organisation or your IT department prefers to use "Integrated Apps" this page will show you how.

These are instructions for your IT department and are taken from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/manage/test-and-deploy-microsoft-365-apps?view=o365-worldwide

Go to https://admin.microsoft.com

In the left hand side click "Settings" and "Integrated Apps". (If you don't see Settings you may need to click "Show More"

On the Deployed Apps tab, click the button that says Get apps.

Search for DraftPilot and click Get it now.

This is where you can find another link to the DraftPilot terms and privacy policy.

Next decide if you want to roll it out to a group of users, or the entire organization.

You also have the option to send an email notification.

The email notification looks like this:

DraftPilot requires the following permissions:

Can read and make changes to your document - DraftPilot updates the actual text of a document, so this is required.

Can send data over the Internet - DraftPilot is a Web based application, so requires this permission.

Click Next then Finish deployment. This will now be available for users to run on their machine.

Note: the user must be logged into their copy of Word with the same account you deployed to. If they are using a copy of Word that is registered to a different user, they will need to log out and log back in.

Now the user should just open up Word and click "Get Add-ins" (or just "Add-ins" on the Mac).

Next they should go over to "Admin Managed" and DraftPilot should be listed. They can just click it and then click "Add"
