Degraded Performance - Active Workpaper add-in missing or unavailable
Resolved after 19 days 19 hours, affecting Active Workpapers (Add-in) and Active Workpapers (Add-in), on June 4, 2026.
**Update:** We have released a temporary workaround for the Microsoft deployment issue affecting the Workpapers add-in. Microsoft has expedited a replacement version of the Workpapers add-in that installs as a new Excel add-in, bypassing the caching and update issues impacting the current version. Internal testing and customer validation have confirmed that it provides the same functionality as the existing add-in. Customers can deploy the replacement add-in through the Microsoft 365 Admin Centre using the same deployment process as the current add-in. Deployment instructions are available in the knowledge base article below. We continue to work with Microsoft while their engineering team investigates and resolves the underlying issue with the original add-in.
