I have an Office.js application which consists of one taskpane add-in, multiple corresponding content add-ins and function file commands.

  • What are the different ways of inserting a content add-in into a document, now that the "insert content add-in button" is not available? I know that a content add-in, by default, can be inserted from the ribbon, choosing Insert --> My Add-ins and browsing my content add-in, but it is not a user-friendly task to do and I am looking for something neater, customizable solution.
  • Is there any way to insert a content add-in programmatically (considering security) or it always requires a manual interaction from the user through the ribbon? It would be great to insert a content add-in directly from the corresponding Taskpane, for example by pressing a button there. Is this possible? If not then can you please suggest any other method for inserting a content add-in other than the previously mentioned "default" one?

I'm afraid they can only be inserted via My Add-ins. There has certainly been feedback around the user experience (or lack there of) that this imposes.

I recommend visiting the UserVoice and adding this suggestion.

Hi Marc, do you know if there's been any update on this since 2017? I'm not finding anything online, but hopefully that's just because of my searching skills
I don't believe so.
