## What it is
A collection of code samples for building Microsoft Office Add-ins on the Microsoft 365 platform, covering Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint. It includes hello-world examples, completed tutorials, and scenario-based samples to help developers learn and build Office Add-ins.

## Use cases
- learn how to build an Office Add-in
- find sample code for Excel task pane add-ins
- build an Outlook add-in that inserts content into messages
- understand the fundamental parts of an Office Add-in manifest
- get started with Microsoft 365 add-in development
- see completed versions of Office Add-in tutorials

## When to choose
- you are developing Office Add-ins for Microsoft 365 apps like Excel, Word, Outlook, or PowerPoint
- you want working reference code for task pane or content add-ins
- you are following Microsoft's Office Add-in tutorials and want the completed versions

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready add-in framework rather than sample code
- you are building VSTO or COM add-ins instead of web-based Office Add-ins
- you need samples for non-Microsoft office suites
