The Excel plugin brings Langdock directly into Microsoft Excel, allowing users to create tables, write formulas, clean up data, and summarize spreadsheet results without leaving their workbook. This section covers how to enable the plugin for your workspace.

​
Enabling the plugin

1

Open integration settings

Navigate to your workspace integration settings in Langdock.
2

Enable the plugin

Find the plugin you want to enable and toggle it on.

Users can now sign in to the plugin from within their Microsoft application. Share the Excel plugin overview with your users so they know how to get started.

​
Enabling the plugin for dedicated deployments

Before you start, make sure you have Microsoft admin access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal and Langdock admin access to your Workspace. Setting up the Excel plugin involves three parts:
  1. A Microsoft admin deploys the custom app in the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal
  2. A Langdock admin enables the Excel plugin in Langdock as described above
  3. Each user opens the Add-in in Excel and signs in
After setup, users in the assigned Microsoft 365 target group can open the Langdock Add-in directly from Excel.

​
Upload the custom app in Microsoft 365

This step must be completed by a Microsoft admin.
