Amazon Quick Suite Microsoft Word extension author guide

As an Amazon Quick Suite author, you can deploy Quick Suite Microsoft Word extensions after your admin establishes the foundational connection to your organization's Microsoft 365 tenant. Your capabilities depend on the permission level granted by your administrator.

With limited permissions (view, share, delete only), you can manage basic extension operations through the landing page after admin completes all setup. With full permissions (deploy, view, share, delete, edit), you can download manifests for deployment in the M365 admin center, rename extensions, and access all editing features.

Author capabilities for Microsoft Word extensions include:

  • Configure extension connections (requires access to M365 Admin Center portal).

  • Deploy extensions to your organization's Microsoft 365 tenant (requires full permissions).

  • Customize extension settings - names, descriptions (requires full permissions).

  • Download manifest files for advanced Microsoft 365 deployment (requires full permissions).

  • Manage sharing and access permissions (available with limited or full permissions).
