For Jira Administrators

When you update Excel Connector for Jira, make sure to inform users about the need of updating the Excel Add-In and guide them to this page: Installing the MS Excel Add-in [3.5.x]

This is applicable only for updates regarding major versions (i.e from version 3.4.x to version 3.5.x)

Below is what you can expect if versions are mismatched (Excel's Connector users will receive this type of error message after loggining-in):

  • Each person who wishes to use it, needs to install add-in locally on their system (in some cases it can be done by windows system administrator on all workstations).

  • There are two possibilities during add-in installation: separate by each workstation's user solely for his/her Windows user account, or to be installed for everyone who is to have (or already has) Windows user's account on it.
