  • Select Deploy Add-in at the top of the page and click Next.The admin center is getting updated to deployment experience with Integrated Apps. Integrated Apps is only visible to global administrators, while for others the old experience still exists. If you don't see the above steps, go to the Centralized Deployment section by going to Settings > Integrated apps. On the top of the Integrated apps page, choose Add-ins.
  • Select an option and follow the instructions.
  • If you selected the option to install an add-in from the Office Store, make your add-in selection. You can view available add-ins by categories: Suggested for you, Rating, or Name.
