# Excel Add-in Deployment

After connecting your Microsoft 365 tenant, deploy the Rockhopper Excel Add-in so users can track changes directly within Excel.

## Install from AppSource

1. Go to the [Rockhopper Add-in on AppSource](https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200006846?tab=Overview)
2. Sign in with your admin account
3. Click **Get it now**

4. You'll be redirected to the **M365 Admin Center**

{% hint style="info" %}
Only users with an Admin role are redirected to the Admin Center. Non-admin users will see a different experience.
{% endhint %}

## Choose who gets the add-in

Select which users will receive the add-in. We recommend **Entire organization** for most deployments.

| Option                    | When to use it                                                                           |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Entire Organization**   | Recommended for most deployments — all current and future users get access automatically |
| **Specific users/groups** | Use for pilot programs or phased rollouts                                                |

## Accept permissions

Click **Accept permissions** when prompted. Review the permissions the add-in needs to function within Excel.

A consent modal will appear — review and click **Accept**.

## Verification

After deployment, the Rockhopper add-in is available from the **Home** ribbon tab in Excel.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It can take up to 24 hours for the add-in to appear for all users. If someone doesn't see it right away, restarting Excel usually resolves it.
{% endhint %}
