Outlook addin Pin add-in on desktop

I've been create one add-in that gives support to clients when reading emails. The question is there a way to pin the add-in like the Insight add-in to keep helping the client as they open emails?

If you are creating an Outlook web add-in, this is possible by adding a pinnable task pane to your add-in manifest.

Please see the linked documentation for the full XML. If you already have a task pane, you can add the SupportsPinning element to it.

<Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
  <SourceLocation resid="readTaskPaneUrl" />
  <SupportsPinning>true</SupportsPinning>
</Action>

It's also important to implement a handler for the ItemChanged event so your add-in can show updated information when the user selects a different message.

While reviewing Microsoft Outlook documentation, I did not find any way to add a pin on Desktop

The only note I got from the documentation is:

In Outlook, click File > Manage Add-ins.

Click Manage Add-ins

In Outlook Web App, click Settings Settings > Manage add-ins.

Under Manage add-ins, in the Turned on column, select the check box for the add-in you want to enable.

Turn on or off add-ins
