I have an Excel file in my OneDrive. When editing the file, I often use an add-in from Microsoft AppSource that I submitted.

Now, I want to share this Excel file by a URL link, such that other users click on the link, open the file on Excel Online and see directly the opened add-in.

I have all the control of this add-in, and this Excel file.

Does anyone know how to set up the add-in and the Excel file to achieve this?

Yes. You can set that up with an element in the manifest and an API. Or by working at the OOXML level. For details, see Automatically Open a Task Pane with a document.

  • Could you confirm if it is possible to enable autoopen of a task pane in a document in OneDrive (i.e. when users view this document in Excel Online, the task pane will be automatically opened)? – SoftTimur Feb 27 '19 at 19:27
  • Yes. The configuration is saved with the document, so it does not matter where the document is stored. – Rick Kirkham Feb 28 '19 at 05:04
