New: How to disable SharePoint Add-Ins on your tenant
Admins can disable SharePoint Add-Ins with the Set-SPOTenant SharePoint Management Shell PowerShell command.
Connect-SPOService -Url https://<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com
Set-SPOTenant -IsSharePointAddInsDisabled $true
After SharePoint Add-Ins are disabled, users will not be able to add SharePoint Add-Ins to their sites, and admins cannot add new SharePoint Add-Ins to the tenant and site collection app catalogs. SharePoint Add-Ins already added to sites will stay available and can still be used by the site's users.
New: SharePoint Add-Ins will not be available from the public marketplace
After July 1, 2024, users browsing the public marketplace (AppSource) will see SharePoint Add-In, but if they select Get it now, a message will explain that SharePoint Add-Ins are retired and cannot be added. If you still require a specific SharePoint Add-In, contact the Add-In creator to understand the possible options.
