Installation
VXL Live is deployed to users by an administrator. Four deployment methods are available, ranging from the recommended guided flow through Microsoft's Marketplace to manual options for organisations with restricted IT policies.
Deployment options
| Method | Best for | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Marketplace | Most organisations — guided deployment, centrally managed | Yes |
| M365 Admin Center (manifest) | Organisations with restricted Store access | Yes |
| SharePoint Online | Legacy or restricted environments | No |
| Side-loading | Individual testing or development only | No |
note
Both staging and production environments can be deployed and run simultaneously. Follow the relevant deployment guide twice — once with the staging manifest URL and once with the production manifest URL.
What you need before deploying
- A tenant URL provided by Vince AS
- Manifest URLs (production and/or staging) — listed in the deployment guides
- One of the following Microsoft admin roles: Global Admin, Exchange Admin, or Azure Application Admin
