I have a question about the office add-in, especially outlook, I didn't find the answer in the documentation, but I would like to get an update on this question: Is it possible to automatically open the manifest taskpane installed in office when starting the application? Is it possible programmatically with office js?
OfficeJS (Office JavaScript API) doesn't provide any property or method for that. There is no way to open a task pane programmatically in Outlook web add-ins. Task panes can be opened by a ribbon button or by clicking on the notification message link. There is no currently any way to set up a task pane to be opened automatically at startup in Outlook.
You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team go through the planning process. Use the github label: Type: product feature request at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions .

I want to create a outlook add-in for reading the attachments to the add-in and list the attachments to it. Then I want to store those attachments on the Azure Blob Storage. If it is possible?
Yes, that is possible.
First of all, you need to decide what kind of add-ins you need to develop for Outlook - COM or Web based add-ins. If you need to support only Outlook for desktop on Windows then your choice is VSTO, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook for more information. For Outlook web add-ins Build your first Outlook add-in.
Both kind of add-ins allows running a task pane in Outlook with all the required information of attached files (or items).
I am trying to develop a outlook addin using yoman-generator.
The code runs and opens outlook but the taskpane addin doesnot appear anywhere on the ribbon.
Also checked the disabled and inactive addins but the taskpane is nowhere to be found.
Anyone can help me on this please? And I am using outlook 2016
First of all, you need to check the manifest file for any ribbon UI customizations. If ribbon buttons are not listed there, you will never find them on the UI.
Also checked the disabled and inactive addins but the taskpane is nowhere to be found.
It seems you have checked the list of COM add-ins, not web add-ins in Outlook. On the Home tab you may find the Get Add-ins button which opens the Add-ins dialog where if clicking on the My Add-ins tab on the left side of the window you may find your add-in listed. If it is not listed there you need to add it by pointing to the manifest file. Before doing that you need to make sure the web server where the add-in is hosted is running and files are accessible.
Is there any way to add a button in home menu of outlook app?
If I click a button, I want a particular website to appear as a pop-up window.
Any comments would be appreciated!
VBA doesn't allow customizing the Fluent UI in Outlook. To customize the ribbon UI in Outlook you need to develop an add-in.
A rich customization is available for COM based add-ins, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook to get started quickly. You may find the Walkthrough: Create a custom tab by using the Ribbon Designer helpful.
Another possible route is web-based add-ins. See Add-in commands for Outlook for more information. There is no so much flexibility like with COM add-ins, but the solution allows to support multiple platforms - Web, Mac OS, Windows.

In My outlook add-ins used Javascript language
Any thoughts about this please share me
Thanks In Advance
Outlook add-ins are run under the context of Outlook items only, so you have got access to a particular Outlook item only. Here is what MSDN states for that:
Outlook activates some types of add-ins if the message or appointment that the user is reading or composing satisfies the activation rules of the add-in. This is true for all add-ins that use the 1.1 manifest schema. The user can then choose the add-in from the Outlook UI to start it for the current item.
Also you may be interested in the event based action which is still not fully released to public (still in preview), see Configure your Outlook add-in for event-based activation for more information.
Finally, you may also post your suggestion to the Microsoft 365 Developer Platform tech community page.
I am trying to create a content pane add-in for power point that includes ribbons with add-in commands. I have looked at the Create add-in commands tutorial as well as the examples here.
The add-ins in examples and tutorials that I'm able to find are all task pane add-ins. Is there a way to create content pane add-in with add-in commands and ribbons?
Following the tutorials, I have been able to create the commands for task pane add-ins. However, when I change the OfficeApp xsi:type from "TaskPaneApp" to "ContentApp", the add-in ribbon does not appear anymore. I believe this is because the schema I am using in VersionOverrides is not compatible with content apps.
Is there a VersionOverride schema for content pane add-ins? I have only been able to find http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides and http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/taskpaneappversionoverrides.
Add-in Commands are currently only supported with Task Pane Add-ins.
From the documentation:
Content add-ins do not currently support add-in commands.
