Update Office add-in manifest after deploying

How do i make sure that users of an Office add-in that I deploy through the Office store get an updated manifest when I upload a new one to the store. In particular in the case that the user has the add-in opened with their saved document? (and thus a user who gets the document forwarded with the add-in opened as well). I might want to edit the URL in the manifest to a different location after deploying and that will break the add-in.

You shouldn't have to worry about that. Even when a user receives a document with an add-in already open in it, the host (e.g. Word) will still check the store periodically for a new manifest. If you've changed the add-in's URL the add-in will fail to load first, but you should get a prompt a little later (after the store check is done) that asks you to reload the latest version of the add-in (which actually means manifest in this case).
