Installing Safeguard Send for Microsoft 365

This guide explains how to install the Safeguard Send Add-In for Microsoft 365.  These instructions are for the cloud version, not the desktop version of Safeguard Send.

This guide is for individual users.  If you are an administrator follow this guide from Microsoft to install this add-in for one or all of your users. It covers how to deploy an add-in using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center‘s Integrated Apps feature. Note that you can also deploy an add-in through the Exchange Admin Center, but in that case you can only deploy to your entire organization all at once (as opposed to the Integrated Apps which allows more fine grained control over who gets it).

This guide only covers how to install the add-in.  Follow these instructions to learn how to remove the add-in.

How to install the add-in in desktop Outlook:

In Outlook, click on Get Add-ins:

Click Install.

As mentioned, the above instructions work with desktop Outlook (Windows or Macs).  Once it’s installed, you’ll see it everywhere it is supported; it’s not necessary to install it on the desktop, then on Office on the web, then on your phone, etc.  You only need to pick one client and install it.  Outlook takes care of getting the add-in on all your clients.

How to install the add-in using Outlook on the Web:

Go to https://portal.office.com and login to Outlook.

Create a new message.

Click on the three dots at the bottom of the compose window, then click on Get Add-ins:
Compose Window - Get Add-Ins

Click on the My Add-Ins link:

Click Install – that’s all there is to it!  It should now show up in your desktop Outlook client and anywhere else you login to use Outlook.
