Hi All,
We have an outlook VSTO add in which works on Office 2010 and Office 2013. We always had ask from stakeholders for having the add in in Mac, which was not possible yet.
We have looked into the new Office add ins for Office 365/16 using Office.js. AFAIK it says the add ins now will be web pages hosted inside the office apps. This is good for us as it says it can run anywhere from Desktop to Mobile to Web , from Windows to Mac.
My questions for this are as follows.
(a) First of all is my above understanding correct ?
(b) if we develop office add ins for office 365/16 are they backward compatible to Office 2013 ( since there were already office apps for 2013) ?
(c) Are all the functionalities available to VSTO add ins are available in office.js based add ins ? Do we lose anything here in terms of functionality/ APIs ?
Looking forward to your answers.
Thanks a lot,
Saurav
