Retain the Office App Custom Tab across multiple office sessions

I have a office app that creates a custom tab defined in the office addin manifest and uses office js technology. when i sideload the addin in windows or MAC , and inserts the addin , the custom tab appears. But when i close the office process and restarts the office process , the custom tab is not persisted. Again i have to go to insert/MyAddins and select myaddin to bring back the custom tab again. Any idea how to persist the tab across multiple office sessions?

Hi you can use Centralized Deployment to deploy your add-in, either to yourself or a team of people. This will persist across sessions and will work across Online, Mac, and Windows.

To do this, you will need IT admin rights. One easy way to get access is by using your own or a separate Office 365 subscription for development. You can get one for free with the Office 365 Developer Program.

Note: Centralized Deployment of the manifest typically works better for things that are in production. If you are working on a feature that requires a manifest change that is in preview, then you may still need to follow the previous sideload approach.
