Document designer manifest file. This add-in should be enabled for customizing the reports and Microsoft Word templates, according to your business needs.

## About this task

An Office add-in manifest file is an XML (or JSON for unified manifests) file that describes an add-in to Microsoft Word, including its name, ID, version, and permissions. It specifies how the add-in integrates with Microsoft Word, such as defining custom UI elements like ribbon buttons and the HTML files for its UI.

Starting with Digital Resilience Incident Reporting, version 22.3.0, the manifest of the Document designer add-in is merged with the manifest of the Microsoft 365 reporting add-in. When you side-load the Document designer with Word add-in, the Add Content and Manage Content icons are now available in the same task pane. These icons previously shipped only with the Microsoft 365 reporting add-in, as shown in the example.

You can use the icons to insert Microsoft 365 reporting items into a Microsoft Word template without installing a second add-in.
