⚠ Before you begin:
Depending on your settings in the Microsoft Admin Center, you may need approval from a Microsoft administrator to install the Jimini add-in for Word.
Jimini for Word can be installed in three ways:
Individual installation from Microsoft Word
Organization-wide deployment (Microsoft 365)
Installation via a manifest file (specific cases)
1. Individual installation
In Microsoft Word, click the Add-ins button.
Click More add-ins to access the Microsoft Store.
In the Microsoft Store, search for Jimini to find the Jimini for Word plugin, then click Install.
After accepting the terms of use, the plugin should open and you can log in with the same credentials as on our website app.jimini.ai.
2. Organization-wide installation
This feature is only available for Office 365 licenses.
Go to your Microsoft admin center at admin.cloud.microsoft and in the left menu, click Show all.
Then click Settings and then Integrated apps.
Then click the Add-ins button. If this button does not appear, your license probably does not allow organization-wide plugin installation.
Then click Deploy Add-in.
Then click Next.
Then click Choose from the Store.
Search for Jimini and click Add.
After accepting our terms of use, choose who you want to install the plugin for, then click Deploy.
After a short moment, the plugin should be installed. You can now open Word to try it out.
In Word, go to Add-ins > Jimini for Word. The plugin should open and you can log in with the same credentials as on our website app.jimini.ai.
3. Installation from the manifest
In certain situations — particularly when using an on-premise Microsoft Exchange tenant — it is necessary to install the add-in from our application's manifest file.
Microsoft documentation explaining how to install an add-in from a manifest in a Microsoft 365 environment is available here.
When installing via a manifest file:
Maintenance is the responsibility of the user or IT administrator.
An outdated manifest can cause issues with new features.
We therefore recommend, whenever possible, installing via the Microsoft Marketplace, which allows for automatic updates.
