What exactly does this mean? I cannot believe Microsoft would prevent users from using the tools they want and need to use
Starting April 2, 2026, SharePoint add-ins will be retired for SharePoint in Microsoft 365 and users will no longer be able to use SharePoint add-ins. Installing SharePoint add-ins from the SharePoint Store will not be possible as of July 1, 2024. Learn more about the retirement of add-ins
Hello Chris! Most of Plumsail products are SharePoint framework solutions (SPFx packages) and add-in retirement will not affect them. But we have some features that are still tied with the SharePoint store, for example widget for HelpDesk, and work on implementing the required changes to keep it working after April 2, 2026. I believe other software developers do the same and will provide alternatives for their users. Also there are legacy products (like Forms and Cross-site Lookup for classic UI) that will stop working unfortunately.
UPD: Charts (Dashboard Designer) will not be affected.
Hi.
Can you be more specific please; will any SPO products stop working? We use forms for SPO.
Thanks
Hi! Plumsail Forms will continue working, Forms for classic UI (formerly Forms Designer) will not.
Just picking this up again for clarity. I use Plumsail Forms Designer which is installed on a VM. In 2019, I uploaded the Plumsail.Form app to my catalog in this location: https://somespace.sharepoint.com/sites/appcat/AppCatalog/Plumsail.Form.sppkg.
If this space/service will be retired, exactly how should I expect my Forms Designer to work if it can't reach the App Management?
Your comment Most of Plumsail products are SharePoint framework solutions (SPFx packages) and add-in retirement will not affect them. leaves me with the question above. If Plumsail Forms Designer is a SharePoint framework solution, why did I have to use Add-ins/Apps to register it? Maybe I am missing something.
Thank you for any insight you can offer on possible changes I may need to make.
