Admin checklist (recommended)

• Confirm users are signed into Word with their Microsoft 365 work accounts.

• Ensure Office is current; on Windows, verify Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime is installed.

• Verify access to required Microsoft 365 cloud endpoints per Microsoft’s guidance.

Platform-specific install paths

• Word on Windows (Microsoft 365): Home > Add‑ins > Get Add‑ins, search “Parley,” then Add. If you don’t see the Store, ask IT to deploy via Integrated apps. Note: Windows relies on Microsoft Edge WebView2 for modern add‑ins.

• Word on macOS (Microsoft 365, 2021/2019): Insert > Add‑ins > Get Add‑ins (or Home > Add‑ins), search “Parley,” then Add. If the Store is blocked, request an admin deployment.

• Word on the web (Microsoft 365): Insert > Office Add‑ins, search “Parley,” then Add. Admin deployment will make Parley appear automatically for assigned users.

Why Word vs a proprietary editor?

• Workflow fit: Immigration teams already draft in Word—no context switching, faster reviews, and immediate adoption.

• Review controls: Keep firm templates, styles, and citations intact in native DOCX for partner and client review.

• Track changes and comments: Preserve redlines, inline comments, and compare docs without exporting/importing.

• Security and governance: Use Microsoft identity, SSO, and admin deployment; your tenant’s retention/labeling policies still apply.

• Cross‑platform: Office web add‑ins run on Windows, macOS, and Word on the web with a consistent task pane experience.

Troubleshooting (detailed)

Before you start

• Supported Word clients: Word for Microsoft 365 (Windows/macOS), Word 2021/2019, and Word on the web support Office web add‑ins. Word add‑ins run cross‑platform; exact feature availability depends on Office API requirement sets and the user’s client version.

• Internet access and permission to use the Office Add‑ins Store (“Get Add‑ins”) are required unless your IT admin centrally deploys the add‑in. Admin deployment is available in the Microsoft 365 admin center’s Integrated apps portal.

• Windows only: modern Office features and many add‑ins rely on the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime. It’s installed automatically with current Microsoft 365 Apps; older environments may need it present to avoid load issues.

Install Parley from Word (self‑service)

Use these steps if your organization allows users to acquire add‑ins from AppSource.

1) Open Word and sign in with your work account. 2) Go to Home > Add‑ins > Get Add‑ins (or Insert > Get Add‑ins). 3) In the Office Add‑ins dialog, search for “Parley”. 4) Select the Parley add‑in, choose Add, and accept any prompts. 5) The Parley task pane will open. Pin it to your ribbon if prompted.

Tip: If you don’t see the add‑in after installing, open Home > Add‑ins > My Add‑ins, select Parley, and choose Add. Use Refresh in My Add‑ins if needed.

Enterprise deployment (admin‑managed)

If your firm restricts the Store, ask a Microsoft 365 admin to deploy Parley to selected users or groups.

• In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Settings > Integrated apps > Get apps, find Parley, select Get it now, accept the requested permissions, and assign to Everyone or specific users/groups. Deployment can take up to 24 hours to appear for all targeted users.

• Admin‑deployed add‑ins appear automatically in users’ Office apps without client‑side configuration. Admins can later edit assignments from Integrated apps.

Sign‑in and SSO behavior

• Many Word add‑ins support single sign‑on (SSO) with the user’s Microsoft 365 identity. When available, Word obtains a token so the add‑in can recognize the signed‑in user; if not supported or unavailable, the add‑in may prompt for sign‑in separately.

• If your organization disables “optional connected experiences,” the Office Store is hidden and user‑installed add‑ins can’t be used. Admin‑deployed add‑ins remain available. Ask IT to review privacy settings if you see related notices.

Troubleshooting common issues

• “Get Add‑ins” button missing or grayed out

• Cause: Store access disabled by policy or optional connected experiences turned off. Action: Contact IT to enable the setting or deploy Parley centrally.

• Parley doesn’t appear after admin deployment

• It can take up to 24 hours to propagate. Try restarting Word, signing out/in, or checking Home > Add‑ins > My Add‑ins > Refresh.

• “This add‑in could not be started” or task pane won’t load

• Ensure Office is up to date and Edge WebView2 is installed/healthy; older webviews can cause issues. If problems persist, repair Office.

• “No add‑ins loaded because of Group Policy settings”

• Your organization may block add‑ins via policy. Contact IT to review add‑in policies and exceptions.

• Can’t find Parley in the Store

• Your tenant may block Store browsing. Ask an admin to deploy Parley from Integrated apps.

Manage, remove, or re‑add

• View or remove: File > Get Add‑ins > My Add‑ins > locate Parley > Remove.

• Re‑add or pin: Home > Add‑ins > My Add‑ins > Parley > Add; then pin the task pane if prompted.
