# Outlook Add-in Setup

> [!NOTE]
> Applies To
> 
> LexWorkplace Starter, Core, Advanced

This article describes how to install and setup the Outlook Add-in for LexWorkplace.

The Outlook Add-in is the tool that enables you to save emails (from Outlook) to a Matter in LexWorkplace.

- **Note**: These steps are also covered in the broader LexWorkplace [Setup Guide](/v1/docs/setup-guide) (the process only needs to be completed once, for each user in your firm).

## Outlook Add-in Setup

This process varies slightly depending on what Exchange service your firm uses. Select the appropriate option below based on what Exchange service your firm subscribes to.

### Uptime Legal Hosted Exchange (Practice Gen 10 + Older)

Log into Outlook Web Access (OWA) for your Exchange email service.

- For Uptime Hosted Exchange, this is located [here](https://controlpanel.msoutlookonline.net/Portal/ADUser/Login).
- For on-premise or third-party Hosted Exchange, please refer to your Exchange administrator for instructions.

Once logged into OWA:

- Download the Manifest File
  - Open the URL [https://addin.lexworkplace.app/manifest-dist.xml](https://addin.lexworkplace.app/manifest-dist.xml)

  - Click Settings (Gear Icon, top right of your OWA screen) > *Get Addins*
  - Click *My Addins*

- You may be prompted to enter your credentials for your Office 365 / Outlook Web Access account.

**Note**: If this process does not work, you may also click *My Add-Ins* from the Outlook ribbon, which should also bring you to Outlook Web Access.

Once logged into OWA:

- Download the Manifest File
  - Open the URL [https://addin.lexworkplace.app/manifest-dist.xml](https://addin.lexworkplace.app/manifest-dist.xml)
