Deploying the On-Send Web Add-in for Outlook on Windows Endpoints (Feature Preview)
The on-send web add-in for Outlook enables the DLP Agent to monitor user actions in the New Outlook view in Microsoft Outlook as well as in Outlook Web Access on Windows endpoints. This topic provides instructions for deploying the add-in on Windows endpoints.
As the New Outlook view is currently a Microsoft preview product, Symantec cannot ensure a similar level of functionality as the previously used COM plug-in. Therefore, Symantec is releasing the add-in as a feature preview and does not support its deployment in production environments.
Symantec DLP will continue to support the COM plug-in for monitoring Outlook in the classic view.
Before you begin, review the and the best-practices-for-deploying-web-add-in-for-outlook-on-macos.html.
