Info

The Office Add-ins will only work when the Synergy Agent is installed on user machines.

MacOS - https://getvisibility.atlassian.net/wiki/x/JAAeDw

Windows - /wiki/spaces/GS/pages/230523071

Note

Endpoints must be able to reach the cluster reliably and have a trusted SSL certificate. If these conditions are not met, the Office Add-ins may not load properly, potentially disrupting users' work.

For example, if the Outlook add-in fails to load, it may prevent users from sending emails.
