Run the sample

1. Fork and download this repo.

2. Go to the Samples/tutorials/powerpoint-tutorial-yo/My Office Add-in folder via the command line.

3. Run npm install.

4. Run npm run build.

5. Start the local web server and sideload your add-in.

   • To test your add-in in PowerPoint, run the following command in the root directory of your project. This starts the local web server (if it's not already running) and opens PowerPoint with your add-in loaded.

     • Windows: npm start
     • Mac: npm run dev-server

   • To test your add-in in PowerPoint on the web, run the following command in the root directory of the My Office Add-in project. When you run this command, the local web server starts. Replace "{url}" with the URL of a PowerPoint document on your OneDrive or a SharePoint library to which you have permissions.

     npm run start:web -- --document {url}

     The following are examples.

     • npm run start:web -- --document https://contoso.sharepoint.com/:t:/g/EZGxP7ksiE5DuxvY638G798BpuhwluxCMfF1WZQj3VYhYQ?e=F4QM1R
     • npm run start:web -- --document https://1drv.ms/x/s!jkcH7spkM4EGgcZUgqthk4IK3NOypVw?e=Z6G1qp
     • npm run start:web -- --document https://contoso-my.sharepoint-df.com/:t:/p/user/EQda453DNTpFnl1bFPhOVR0BwlrzetbXvnaRYii2lDr_oQ?e=RSccmNP

     NOTE: If you're developing on a Mac, enclose the {url} in single quotation marks. Don't do this on Windows.

     If your add-in doesn't sideload in the document, manually sideload it by following the instructions in Manually sideload add-ins to Office on the web.

6. If the add-in task pane isn't already open in PowerPoint, go to the Home tab and choose the Show Taskpane button in the ribbon to open it.

7. Use the buttons in the task pane to interact with the presentation through your add-in.
