A

All right, good morning, everyone welcome to the office Adams developer community called today's January 8 2020 and really happy everyone could join us for the first call of the new year. Just a few notes about the call before we get started here for anybody who's new. If you don't already have the recurring, invite you can download it using the AKMs link on this slide. This call happens the second Wednesday of every month, so next month's call will be on Wednesday, February 12th.

A

This is a chance for everyone to meet the folks on the product teams that are building the office. Javascript API is in the office Adams platform. We talk a lot about what's new and what's coming soon, so this is a great way to kind of be on the leading edge of what's happening in the office Adams platform. You also get to witness some technical, deep, dives and learn in depth about certain subjects and occasionally we'll have a customer presentation where you get to learn from other folks that are building on the office at its platform.

A

So today we're going to start like we always do with a quick overview of the office add-ins platform, we're going to learn about what's new and what's coming soon, with the excel JavaScript API and then we're gonna talk about SPF X, a SharePoint framework building office add-ins that way and a quick announcement, then about creating an SSO enable office ad and that's about to get a lot easier than it has been to this point: I'm Kim, Brandel, I'm senior, dev writer on the office platform team I'm joined by my colleague here, Alex yeah.

B

And.

A

We also have a look on the phone with us. Raymond here tacos and face are here to talk about the SPF, X and office add-ins hello,.

C

Hello, so.

A

With that said, I'm gonna toss it off to Alex and let him talk about the office add-ins over here all.

D

Right, Thank, You Kim, so yeah, like you mentioned, we like to start up this call of a brief overview of office add-ins to make sure everyone's on the same page. So what is an office add-in on Adhan is a web service that you interact with through your office client. So you have your web service that you can access through Excel or PowerPoint right within the workbook or presentation and add-in consists of two parts.

D

One is the web service itself and that is written with familiar web technologies, HTML or CSS, and then there is a second part, the manifest file, and that is what configures your office host to be able to find the web service out there. The manifest file is what's shared across platforms into your customers, either it's uploaded the office Store for people to download or its side loaded for testing or it's deployed through your admin Center, and that allows your added to be hosted on desktop on Mac online and all these different clients.

D

So what can this add-in do? Well, since it is a web app, you can use any web api's or Azure services. Anything like that.

D

It can access the power of the Microsoft graph and you can also use the office JavaScript API S, which is usually the focus of this call that allows it to directly interact with the workbook or a word document or Outlook message and access that information send it out to the cloud get back whatever you need to do and, however, you need to access that information, and so, if you'd like to try out add-ins, you can head over to our documentation site there.

D

We have a series of five-minute quick starts that will get you up and running with a working add-in. You can also take our full fledge tutorials and start playing around the api's in script lab. So you can see how those office JavaScript API, is actually interact with your workbook or Word document under that I think I'll turn it back over to Kim Thank, You Kim, awesome.

A

Thanks Alex, so next up today, we have Raymond here to talk to us about what's new and coming soon with the excel JavaScript API x', okay,.

B

Thankthank scheme thanks: everyone Happy New, Year everybody. My name is Raymond I'm, a program manager in Excel, JavaScript API, our team located in Beijing, and today I would like to talk about the three topic. One is one point xi j time. A second is one point: eleven, a beta api candidates and the third one I will share you how to try a beta, API and I'll. Give you ten more at the end, so the first one is the the time when we get.

B

We can GA our one point eleven, which is in the built, which is in May 19 to 21. You can check on the website on that and to get more details about this in from the build.

C

Events.

B

Okay, here is the beta API candidates, as we know that in 1.9 we released nick 9, which is of 2010 api's, and we can add two thirty, seven more api's, two to one point. Eleven, and now it is the new beta.

B

We have the culturing for a api's for culturing, four and fifteen for comments, range format and slicer, as well as a workbook and coke events, and also we have the raw hidden events as well, so totally there's a seven 33:37, okay, so first one I would like to introduce the cultural in phone number, the cultural in for info that can be used to get the current setting the system setting of the decimal separator a thousand separator and and also can get the there are two different sending one is the the system setting another one is the SLO settings.

B

There was a decimal separator and a group separator. You can use that API due to to get these information and your cans. You can also check the open document available online. You can click that to get more information on how to use this API and.

A

Just a note for the folks, as we continue on here, we'll be posting. This slide deck when we post about the blog post. To recap this call so you'll have access to the all the links here as we go along and Alex will be pasting them into the chat window as we go along as well. Yeah.

B

Okay, oh yeah, by the way this is all the candidate API. It doesn't mean that we has to release those API, because now we want to hear your feedback and if there's anything we need to change or any feedback is really welcome and we we may women do some modification if, if there's needed, so your feedback is really important to to our 1.11. If yeah, I'll, better ABI, okay, so for range range area, we we bringe object. We have a new api, which is very useful. I said we know that we have.

B

We have copy and paste, but we don't have to copy the paste. So we've received a lot of feedback from a lot of requests from other from a customer, so we release this API, so you can use to move to and can realize your copy cut and copy future. Okay and the range format we we enabled an indent. You can use this API to adjust intent, increase, indent or decrease indent and slicer. We enable the name in formula okay and we have released 15 more about the comments API previously.

B

You know in one point one point: n: we release about 30 API for comments, and then we get 15 more. These may give you a possibility to access the comments, reply, comments and mention all these kind of information which is really useful and for what pool level and work she level we a few more capability and for workbook you can use the what boot are closed. They can. Let you close the hole the workbook and save can enable you to save the document and as well as the get file a a sink.

B

We now we support PDF format for the worksheets. We support the calc events. Then then you can use these two to listen, whether there's a cow triggered. So the last is the row hidden events, so you can use the low heat and events to to monitor whether whether the the customers heat in the row or unheeded row yeah, and that can give you the information, whereas her dress wasn't was the type and what which seed our user are doing that. Okay.

B

So all these API beta right here, how do you do it actually very simple I? You could use you can change your reference to beta CDN then like in github. You could choose to change the as one to beta and then you can have the capability to use that law cell near me. Let me share my screen. I will give you a demo how to how to use that okay, so let me do is some from very beginning. Okay.

B

This is a a blank snap, okay, so if we run it and and just just nothing, um this is a discipline and if I want to, for example, I want to use the cultural info API, so I gonna do this.

B

The cultural info is actually as I show. You previously is under the application. So I can do. Is I load these API, though these property and then I just eat very easy. Just show that what a cultural name for and then I just want to know that was the since this ammo separator. So that's very simple. Okay, so when I do run run okay, you got the arrow. The reason is that we are not. This is reference to product CDN.

B

So if I go to the library here, if I change it to from 1 to beta, then I, do it run it again here? Okay, then then the beta beta API is it be able to to access. Now you can see that your system, cultural name, is I'm located in China, so this is HTM. My assistant setting and my decimal separator is. Is this this one yeah?

B

So that's it's the end of my demo. So please try it out the oldest beta beta API and your feedback is really are very helpful for us see whether you have advice and suggestion how we can make it better and if it is necessary we need to do some changes for these API. So before before may, before the beaut May Day May 19, we still have chance to do some modification for those API.

B

If you have some requirement or special, as for these okay and beside beside all this API, we still our team still working on the 1.12 api. One point l might include some api like president's, like custom properties like the the the commons events, something like that and we will share more details in the future community call, that's all for my site. Thank you very much and yeah and I return. My control back to Kim.

A

Hey thanks Raymond, just one quick question for you just for folks, I know we're very interested in hearing their feedback about the beta ap. Is that you're showing us today? What's do we want them to provide that feedback via github? Is that the best way for them to do that? Yes,.

B

Correct, please share the feedback through github, so.

A

At the end of this decade, one there's a there's: gonna be a slide with some learn and engage resources, and one of the links on there is going to be the github repo. It's just an it's in the office, dev, org and github, and it's called office J s office JSF. So if you do have feedback about any of the beta api's or anything that Raymond showed today feel free to provide feedback to us.

A

That way, that would be great and likewise there'll be a link also to user voice, which is how we collect feature requests. So if there's AP is that you haven't heard of being already under development that you think would be really useful for you I'm, you can submit them to us via a user voice. There'll be a link to that as well. So thanks Ranger, that's really great. It's really great to see the velocity with which we continue to add api's to excel it's, it's really a very robust set of api's now.

A

So it's that's awesome. Thank you. Thank.

B

You from from the chat box, I, know people I think asking me whether the API for note right now for our plan. We don't support the old fashioned of notes, so we we only support the comments. The modern comments, thank you for your question. Great.

A

And folks, if you have any other questions about the Excel API is feel free to post them to the chat window and Raymond. If you can keep an eye on the chat window there and just kind of correspond with people that way, that would be great. Okay. Great! Thank you awesome. So next up we have a so here with us from the SharePoint team. He's gonna talk about building office add-ins using the SharePoint framework.

C

Excellent Thank, You Kim so before I actually start so my name is Osso. You want to know I'm principal program manager in the one try SharePoint team, which is a joint engineering effort and I'm, also responsible of our open source and community engagement, so making sure that their customers and partners understand how to do extensibility in Microsoft 365 in general or in the SharePoint and onedrive area, and all of us that includes crafts and everything else. What we're doing this side now in shape?

C

One side of the house we've been using the our latest extensibility model, which is SharePoint framework for a while and SharePoint framework, was released almost three years ago, and it has been a widely successful in the cloud and it's designed for a UX layer extensibility. So, basically, if you want to modify and create an widget on a SharePoint, I want to create a widget in Microsoft teams or nowadays, if you want to create a widget or functionality or a solution also in office settings, you can actually take advantage of SharePoint framework.

C

Now why on earth, where I would actually do? That would be to probably the first question: if you're not familiar, we share one framework, so let's actually start with that one and quickly. So, first of all, if you're not familiar what is a SharePoint framework and how these things work, obviously I will show you some resources and a live demo in a second.

C

But the beauty of SharePoint framework is that we take care of the hosting so number one challenge: what office add-ins developers kept on saying and enterprise developers who were planning to do an enterprise extensibility for their customers were saying that well, it always gets complicated because somebody needs to host my extensibility. My web application I need to create an azure application and I when I go and request an azure application for my customer enterprise customer.

C

It takes a cheers to get that and all those permissions and everything else, it's really really difficult, which open framework and officer dense development. All of this is automatic. You don't actually have to worry about hosting, because everything is hosted for you automatically, so your code is being hosted by us, which is a great thing, because you can save money. Now the second really good thing is that authentication so authentication and which open framework and of assonance it just works. You don't need to do anything related on your code and the authentication just works automatically.

C

So there's a single sign-on you're authenticated with Microsoft 365 or office 365 identity, and you are good to go now. The code maintenance is a good thing as well the so the same code can work across SharePoint, Microsoft teams and office exactly the same code.

C

You don't have to do any changes within your code, except unless you want to access something a service or application specific, for example, using the office Java JavaScript SDK, then you obviously use the office JavaScript SDK, which is given to you easily within the code as well and I'll show you that one in a second as well, but you can basically the baseline component and based on implementation and solution. It's exactly the same. So you can reuse the same piece of code, which is super super important. The skills reuse super important thing.

C

You don't actually have to learn at anything specific if you're developing anything for these three different applications. So it's the same tool set it's the same, yeoman generator, it's the same, API, it's the same same type, script version, it's the same extensibility model which we are taking advantage, so you can actually build on top of your existing skill set and the deployment is super easy and you basically have automatic hosting, and you can want this one way of deploying office settings much the same steps or SharePoint framework with parts as well.

C

Now we're also looking into having a more consistent and, let's say, more wider Microsoft resist if I'm developer story- and this is something which is coming slightly later so sooner or later you don't actually use SharePoint framework to create of a sentence you use, Microsoft, 365 framework or whatever it will be called and even in ignite, we kind of a set. We didn't say out loud what it will be called because it's marketing decision, but there will be a one, unified, Microsoft 365. Is it a component or an application platform?

C

We can actually then say that hey I want to have a component, and with that component you can define where it's going to be hosted. It's going to be hosted in office, add as an office settings or as a Microsoft themes term or as a SharePoint framework board the covenants. So you can have a one centralized, centralized management of the the covenants as well, so managing all of your applications in a single location.

C

This comes with a unified, app catalog, which is in development and not yet available, and then cross-platform support in the office are using the same chiffon framework web part or your office settings across the windows, Excel PowerPoint and office across all of the different platforms as well again same piece of code, which is a superset very important thing. So those three things are coming: they're not yet available. Technically, the whole implementing of a sudden surge in SharePoint framework is in preview, so we released it actually to preview yesterday.

C

So this is super super new stuff for you to take advantage. We did show it in the night already, so my actually seen some of the videos now the longer-term vision. What we want to do with my accessories is device platform is really to come up with a one unified way of doing extensibility, obviously, and it's a complex platform and Obrestad behind the scenes- videos max of craft api's, because that gives you the contextual, personalized, access to the relevant information, and then you can use the specific KPIs and SDKs for the service.

C

What you're using, but the whole idea of this longer-term vision is to have a one yo at Microsoft 365, where you can actually then create your application or your widget or a solution which then you can define where it's going to be hosted when it kind of space surfaced. So you don't actually again need to have specific knowledge of a specific application, not sure. If you're implementing an excel-based extensibility, you will take advantage of excel JavaScript SDK and it has its own specific things to make happen.

C

But the actual widget, the implementation of the style, is the same cross to Microsoft reassessed, environment. That's the vision where we're heading gradually. This will take a while still and to get there, but this was already presented in the ignite ignite. 2019 in November in Orlando three months ago, but that gives you a scene where we are hitting now like I said yesterday, and we released the preview version of office add-ins built with SharePoint framework, and even that sounds really weird.

C

By the way, creating office items using SharePoint framework, why would you use shape and frame were too great of a sentence? Well, that's precisely the reason why we're renaming all of this stuff as a unified platform 0 later, but for now what we're actually doing is that we are building a ship on framework report during the preview timeframe.

C

We have a shipment framework web part to kill a bit of this context and we have the office manifest and we are using site loading during preview for time frame and that actually is the Outlook Web Access application, so Outlook Web Access, adding which you can then take advantage with in your Outlook Web Access. This is the preview time frame and we're looking into extending this, then to cross all of the other applications as well. So word PowerPoint Excel and all of that work is being done already or being actively worked on.

C

So let's have a look on this one in practice. So what does it actually mean that you built using a one specific tooling and it targets either webpart or a sharepoint or a teams or an office settings? And what does it mean that I can access to office JavaScript SDK within my code? They jump first on the commander. So let's actually have a look on. How do we create this?

C

So if you are familiar with SharePoint framework and then it might be super familiar what I'm doing here, but let's actually have a look on what we are doing so, first of all, we are using the SharePoint framework, yeoman generator like set for now, sooner or later, there's going to be Microsoft, 365, yeoman generator, which you use for generating the UX layer for extensibility and because this is a preview bility and we're gonna do before I go to the comment line. Let me recap slightly and you can find the documentation in akms.

C

Spf X is actually the URL AKMs SPF X is the easiest way to find the relevant documentation and that's a really easy thing to remember as well. Spf X, meaning SharePoint framework from here I can search for office office, adding or office, and we can actually find the building of a Saturday institution a sharepoint framework and that's basically, then the tutorial which we kind of a take advantage in this. You end this quick demo as well, so we can I use the OMA generator and we're gonna use the past beta command behind it.

C

So let me actually get back on the comment line. Do the plus beta and I'll do skip install here, which basically means that I'm not going to run the yeoman? Sorry, the npm install, which will save some time for showing you what we actually can't for executing the yeoman generator so ano my generator, and if you open framework its first gonna ask what's the solution name so outlook demo is fine. We're gonna talk a SharePoint Online for now, like I said for now.

C

This is quite SharePoint, specific questions, but all of this is going to be changed in the future use the current folder. Do we want to allow to not admin to deploy stuff immediate across the tenant? Yes, we want to have a specific permissions. No we're going to target a web part for now and we're gonna call it outlook. Demo and description is fine. I do want to use react, knockout well, for now, let's not use in a JavaScript framework, and there we go.

C

The yeoman generator has created us the solution, without node modules folder so quickly having a look on what actually happens here is that we give you a webparts solution and with part baseline solution, and we also give you it's basically ready to go as a starting point, and we also give you a manifest file which is ready to go to get hosted into Outlook Web Access. So you can easily get started on testing things because everything what you need is available in here, so I'm not gonna, actually kept in a package.

C

This one I'm gonna close this one I'm gonna, use another solution which I created earlier, because I wanted to save some time for not actually installing the node modules and that's the one, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, that is the one. So this is a solution which I created earlier, where we actually have an access already to the office office context and accessing the office context is nothing more then in the web part or in the panel implementation. I.

C

Do this context the test a case and from here again depending where the panel or an widget or an application whatever? We want to call this in the future if it's actually hosted in office and that office context is then available and from the office context, I can actually access something like mailbox and Mail's and messages, and all of that, whatever is the API. What you need to access on now I can then use this context. To figure out am I actually in office or am I in SharePoint.

C

So I can use exactly the same piece of code as an officer in or as a SharePoint framework or as a team stamp as well. If you prefer to do that, so in this case we're just going to basically output the message and, depending on the fact that are we in SharePoint are we in the office so quick? Let's quickly, actually walk this through, because this is super super cool because all of the hosting deployment everything else super streamlined or you.

C

So let me actually do call package and I'm gonna do got back it's ship, which basically means that I'm packaging, my typescript solution as an SB b kt or ready to be packaged as an SP PKG file. If you're familiar with SharePoint framework that might be useful.

C

So I'm going to do godpa bundle, that's the ship which is going to actually prep the package and prep the typescript to a JavaScript format and there we go and then it's ready to get actually packaged and the beauty of the shipment framework solution model really is the fact that we can actually package our solution as an individual solution file which actually contains all of the assets images, JavaScript files, all of the other assets as well, and that's actually being done by using and and the rules of that is being controlled by the package solution.

C

Json files, you can even ask my craft permissions, so nobody needs to go to as your ad and create an application or grant permissions then go through all of that burden in the enterprise development process to get those permission ekran' debts. Now you don't actually need to go through ad at all. You just request the permissions and the tenant administrator of the office tenant can grant the permissions and this for your application, quite streamlined experience. Now let me actually do a cop package solution as well, so I'm going to actually package the solution.

C

It's going to not kind of take too long and that we actually get stuff created and let me actually open up and that solution. So here's my solution. We can actually see I'm located in Finland, it's 631 right now in Finnish timeframe. So let me actually go to my tenants. What are we going to how we're going to install this to my tenant right now? It is still using the SharePoint app catalog again we're working on a unified, Epcot experience in a tenant level.

C

That's coming sooner or later this year, as well now I'm installing the solution to my tenant and it's gonna actually ask some permissions. Just gonna ask them: do some nodes related in minecraft permissions which which the solution is requesting to get up their missions as well I'm, not actually using those in the sample, so I don't need to grant us that the permissions as such, but now there we go. Our solution is being hosted.

C

What's really cool about this model again, if you're not familiar with SharePoint framework, is the fact that this file, this SP PKG file, actually contains all of the assets it contains. All of the JavaScript files, it's going to condense, all of the manifest files and all of those stuff, so everything is automatic. I can send that file to any of my customers and say instead that your and you're good to go super easy super convenient experience as well.

C

Now we have the solution available now we need to actually take that available in the alcohol, quick access. So let me actually go to a one email in here. Let me go to my ad ins functionality.

C

Let me actually get the path to the folder. Let me actually open up a folder one more time, so I'm actually get the manifest location. That's my manifest location for this file, which we, by the way, create automatically for you as well. So I don't have to worry about how do I create the manifest we create it for you with the default settings. So now, if I go to the outlook settings in my tenant, my applications at a head from file I can upload my application.

C

Manifest file install that as it using the site loading during the preview time frame and then then means that I can actually start my application, which is actually automatically hosted from the SharePoint and super easy super convenient way of implementing add-ins, oh and that worked really well and then I did a mistake: I'm not going to spend too much time on investigating and we are in a preview timeframe. I will need to double check. What did I actually do wrong and I know what I did wrong so I actually use the wrong manifest file.

C

Let me actually fix that. So I will prove you that the things are working. Probably so, let's do that one more time it's not going to take too long, but I don't have too much time on my built anymore, because I promise to do stuff in 15 minutes there we go. Let's cloak that wasn't necessary, but let's get the application manifest one more time in and uploading from a file and I uploaded the wrong file. That was the problem.

C

It's installed that there we go and let's get my application available and now it's getting hosted and there we go. Welcome to office, extended Norfolk, Swiss, custom, business, extensibility, there's the context I'm accessing the email address where I'm. Actually there you can do some level of a configuration as well and everything will be available for you again super convenient automatic.

C

We host that you can take advantage of things you can get access on the office chairs, so the the JavaScript SDK from the implementation really easily as well, but I think that's pretty much from my side like sides, we do have a tutorial. We are more than willing to get your feedback on this one. There's multiple people into office, add-ins engineering. It would be highly interested in getting your feedback on this one as well, because this definitely is not a SharePoint specific thing.

C

This is an Outlook and an office add-ins engineering investments mainly and and for SharePoint specific stuff. We do have an issue list in the SPD Docs issues where we would love to have your input as okay tablet. Comm SharePoint SP develops issues where we would love to have your feedback. Your input, your suggestions related on things which you might be finding from the solution, but that's it from my side for now. So hopefully you find that interesting and it's a useful thing for you as well. Thank you.

C

Oh maybe before we move the Kim just a pinpoint of fact, this is not going to replace and the sauce level implementations of add-ins. This is definitely in an add-on tool for your tool belt as a basically designed for enterprise developers and and let's say, system integrators who implement Enterprise extensibility for Outlook and an office as well. So you easy getting dengue techs deployed your stuff, but there's obviously still will be applications which are web hosted.

C

Applications like let's say key top or let's say Trello, and if you want to extend any of those, is be solutions within your within your office add-ins or in your Outlook. The model still remains exactly the same as in the past, but I think that's it. For now, please give us feedback and let's jump back on Kim's screen great.

A

Thanks Lisa I think we had a question or two may be posted to the chat. So if you can keep an eye on the jet there.

C

Great.

A

Really cool to see the init, this integration with the SharePoint framework and office add-ins, like Lisa, said just an yet another way that you can build office add-ins and additions. In addition to the ways you've already been able to build them previously, also really cool to see the direction that things are with the M 365 developer experience in this greater effort on our part to make developing across the various Microsoft workloads, a seamless experience versus feeling, like everything, is a little bit different, so really cool to see where things are headed there.

A

All right so I'm going to talk to us for a minute about the process of creating SSO enabled office Adams. So until now, if you wanted to create a an office add-in that uses single sign-on, it's been it's been possible, but it's been a little bit of a journey. There's we have quicksort tutorials I'll call them in the documentation that walk you through all the various steps required to establish the necessary configuration settings in Azure and then to create the code, that's necessary to enable SSO within an office add-in.

A

Well, that's been possible, it's been tedious and there's a lot of manual steps. They have to be done there so I'm happy to announce today that very soon you'll be able to use the yeoman generator for office add-ins to create SSO enabled office add-ins. So this isn't available quite yet we're putting the finishing touches on it. Now, as we speak, should be available very soon. Keep an eye out on the office. Developer.

A

Blog I put the link here at the bottom of the page for an announcement when this is available, but essentially the next version of the yeoman generator that we published that we release will give you the ability to use yeoman generator to create an office add-in for Word, Excel or PowerPoint that uses SSO. So what does that mean?

A

It means the yeoman generator is going to automatically take care of for you all of the manual steps you used to have to perform in terms of you know, creating the application as you're getting the client, secret, etc and then plugging that into the code within the office at in project. All of that will happen for you seamlessly automatically. Just as part of creating the project with the yeoman generator, so it's a really cool, really quick way to get up and running with single sign-on in office. Attends and I will point out.

Here too, we had a question earlier in the chat window about the status of SSO as a feature with an office add-ins, it's still in preview. As we speak today, I don't believe we would get announced a timeline for GA, but I'll follow up with the PM who owns SSO offline and we'll post. If we have any information to share about potential GA timelines, I'll post, that to the blog post that we published following this call, to recap the call so keep an eye on that office: developer blog for that as well.

So next, just an invitation to engage with us, we'd really love to hear from you. I know. Last year on the call several times several different calls we had. Customers presents about the solutions that they're building on the office add-ins platform and share some really useful information. It was really beneficial to the broader audience here on this call.

A

So, if you're building something on the office at his platform or maybe you've built something previously- and you you know, learn some lessons along the way or you think it's you know- maybe a really cool application of office, add-ins we'd love for you to reach out to us and chat about potentially sharing that with others on a future call. You can do that via this form.

Here, it's aka, MS, Office, Eddins, engage and, if you reach out to us that way, we'll be in touch and we'll we'll connect and see if we can get you scheduled for an upcoming call. We're also really interested in hearing feedback about developer experience in general, but specifically the documentation.

A

So if you have any feedback to share about the docs you're welcome to reach out through this us this way as well we'd love to connect with you and hear how we can improve that experience, for you, I think we're doing pretty good on the QA I'm going to skip past. This I think we've addressed a lot of the questions in the chat window, but just a quick call out.

A

If there's any questions that we weren't able to answer in the chat window today, we will be posting a list of those questions with answers to the blog posts that we published. To recap. This call so we'll be publishing that blog post sometime in the next few days. It takes us a little bit of time, sometimes to track down the right people to answer the questions, but keep an eye out on the office developer blog for the blog post and we'll answer your question there. We weren't able to get to it today.

A

So just some developer resources here, as I said, we'll be sharing this deck on the blog post as well. So you'll have access to all of these links when we do that, publish that deck, so lots of resources for learning about the office, add-ins, JavaScript, API and platform, as well as resources for engaging with us. So earlier, Raymond presented about the excel JavaScript API and mentioned that we'd love to hear your feedback about the beta API is that he shared with us today in requirements at 1.11.

You can do that via the github link down in the engage section of this slide, so it's just office dev / office Jas in github, so that's it we're finishing a little early today. Thank you, everyone for joining us. We really appreciate your time today we'll be publishing this. According of the call very soon to the office developer, YouTube channel and as previously mentioned, this calls the second Wednesday of every month, which means next month's call will be on Wednesday February 12th.
