- Select the Parachute manifest file provided by your administrator

For organisations (centralised deployment)
Section titled “For organisations (centralised deployment)”Administrators can deploy the add-in to all users in your Microsoft 365 tenant:
- Go to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
- Navigate to Settings > Integrated Apps > Centralized Deployment
- Upload the Parachute manifest or search for Parachute in the store
- Select the users or groups who should receive the add-in
- Deploy - the add-in will appear in Word for all selected users within 24 hours
The add-in supports two authentication methods:
- Microsoft 365 SSO - if your organisation uses Microsoft 365, the add-in can authenticate using your existing Microsoft credentials for a seamless sign-in experience
- Auth0 login - if SSO isn’t available, the add-in opens a login dialog where you sign in with your Parachute credentials
Once installed, click the Parachute button in the Word ribbon to open the task pane. From there you can:
- New document - start a fresh AI-drafted document in your current Word file
- Review current document - run document reviews on whatever you’re currently editing
- Ask a question - query your knowledge base about legal topics relevant to your document
- Verify the manifest was uploaded correctly
- For centralised deployment, allow up to 24 hours for propagation
- Check that your Office version supports add-ins (Office 2016 or later)
This typically indicates a Content Security Policy issue. Contact your Parachute administrator - the CSP headers may need updating for your deployment.
If Microsoft 365 SSO doesn’t work (common with Conditional Access policies or MFA configurations), the add-in automatically falls back to dialog-based authentication. No action needed - just sign in through the dialog.
