You can remove an add-in that you've previously sideloaded on Windows, Mac, or iOS by clearing the Office cache on your computer.

Additionally, if you make changes to your add-in's manifest (for example, update file names of icons or text of add-in commands), you should clear the Office cache and then re-sideload the add-in using updated manifest. Doing so will allow Office to render the add-in as it's described by the updated manifest.

Note

To remove a sideloaded add-in from Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, or Word on the web, see Sideload Office Add-ins in Office on the web for testing: Remove a sideloaded add-in.

If you only want the sideloaded add-in to reflect recent changes to its HTML or JavaScript source files, you shouldn't need to clear the cache. Instead, just put focus in the add-in's task pane (by clicking anywhere within the task pane) and then press F5 to reload the add-in.

Note

To clear the Office cache using the following steps, your add-in must have a task pane. If your add-in is a UI-less add-in -- for example, one that uses the on-send feature -- you'll need to add a task pane to your add-in that uses the same domain for SourceLocation, before you can use the following steps to clear the cache.

Install the Microsoft Edge DevTools.
Open your add-in in the Office client.
Run the Microsoft Edge DevTools.
In the Microsoft Edge DevTools, open the Local tab. Your add-in will be listed by its name.
Select the add-in name to attach the debugger to your add-in. A new Microsoft Edge DevTools window will open when the debugger attaches to your add-in.
On the Network tab of the new window, select the Clear cache button.
If completing these steps doesn't produce the desired result, you can also select the Always refresh from server button.

You must run macOS version 10.13.6 or later to see the personality menu.
