You can install the production X-Author for Contracts add-in using Centralized Deployment via the Office 365 admin center. Centralized Deployment supports both the Windows and Mac operating systems and the deployment approach is the same for both.

To install the production X-Author for Contracts add-in, the Office 365 administrator must first deploy the X-Author for Contracts add-in in Office 365. Deploying the add-in is a one-time activity. An administrator must first install the add-in before deploying it in their organization for the entire organization, for users, or for groups. The users with assigned add-in access, must Insert add-in in their Microsoft Word.

After using Centralized Deployment to install the add-in, an administrator must take the following actions to assign the add-in to new users:

• If the add-in is assigned to everyone, no action is required.
• If the add-in is assigned to a group, the administrator must add new users to the group.
• If the add-in is assigned to specific users, the administrator must give access to new users.

When the administrator assigns the add-in to new users, they must Insert the add-in in their Microsoft Word.
