Introduction
We are excited to announce our Zivver OWA add-in v6! With automatic login, a better user experience and reduced sending delays, this new version is a big step forward in optimizing the secure email experience in Outlook on the Web.
Upgrading to version 6 of the Zivver OWA add-in is straightforward but not automatic. This document describes the steps necessary for the upgrade.
- Introduction
- Locate the current installation of the Zivver OWA Add-in
- Change user assignment.
- Install Zivver OWA Add-in v6
- Give admin consent to the required Graph API permissions
- Internet Explorer security zone
- Migrate users from the previous Zivver OWA Add-in version to OWA Add-in v6
- Remove old Zivver OWA Add-in version
Locate the current installation of the Zivver OWA Add-in
Over the past years Microsoft has moved around the location of the add-in in the admin panel. The location where the Zivver OWA Add-in is installed determines the next steps to update to v6 of the Zivver OWA Add-in. Do a check on these locations to know in which of these locations the add-in is installed:
- Latest location
- Previous location
- Legacy location (go to Organization > add-ins)
Change user assignment.
We highly recommend that you test the new version with a group of users, in order to understand the new way of working and ensure that it fits your organization. If you do so, make sure to change the user assignment upfront. Select the old Zivver Add-in version and edit the user assignment. If the add-in is assigned to ‘Everyone’, change this to the specific group of users who will still work with the old version during the test period. No users should ever be assigned to both the old version and v6.
