Upgrading

Upgrading the add-in

Upgrade the Python package in the solution the same way as any other Lime add-on, and deploy it:

poetry update limepkg-mail-addin

That is normally the whole job. The Outlook add-in is served by the Lime CRM backend, so upgrading the package rolls the new version out to every user the next time their task pane loads. Nothing has to be redeployed to Outlook, and users don't have to do anything.

When the manifest has to be redeployed

Only in two cases:

• The Lime CRM base URL changes — the URL is baked into the manifest, so Outlook would otherwise keep loading from the old one.
• A release note explicitly says so for a major version.

In either case, download the new manifest.xml from Lime Admin and give it to customer IT — see Deploying to Outlook.

After upgrading

Check the Mail Addin configuration in Lime Admin for anything flagged as invalid — a new release may add settings, and a changed solution may have invalidated an existing field mapping.

Then save one test email and confirm the body, attachments and sender still arrive as expected. The test checklist in Configuration covers it.

Upgrading to a new major version

Instructions for each new major version will be added here when a breaking change is released.
