Follow these steps to install OfficeConnect on your own Windows machine. You'll need administrator rights, or IT must pre-install the prerequisites.

## Prerequisites

- All [system requirements](/wiki/system-requirements/) are met
- You have your Workday Adaptive Planning login credentials

## Steps

{{< step n="1" title="Download the installer" >}}
Go to **Product Downloads** in your Workday Adaptive Planning instance (ask your admin for the link if you don't have it). Download **OfficeConnectSetup.exe** — always use the latest version.
{{< /step >}}

{{< step n="2" title="Run the installer" >}}
Double-click `OfficeConnectSetup.exe`. If you have administrator rights on your machine, Windows will prompt you to allow the installation to run elevated — click **Yes**.

If you don't have admin rights, the installer will stop and tell you to contact IT. In that case, see [Install as an IT Admin](/wiki/install-admin/).
{{< /step >}}

{{< step n="3" title="Complete the setup wizard" >}}
Follow the on-screen prompts. The installer will:
- Install any missing prerequisites (WebView2, .NET 4.8, VSTO 2010, Workday Event Log Components)
- Install the OfficeConnect add-in for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
{{< /step >}}

{{< step n="4" title="Verify the installation" >}}
Open Microsoft Excel. You should see an **OfficeConnect** tab in the ribbon between the regular Excel tabs.

Open Word and PowerPoint to verify the tab also appears there.
{{< /step >}}

## Result

The OfficeConnect tab appears in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. You're ready to [sign in and create your first tenant](/wiki/admin/configure/sign-in-create-tenant/).

## Troubleshooting

If the OfficeConnect tab doesn't appear after installation, see [Task Pane Not Displaying Correctly](/reference/troubleshoot/task-pane-not-displaying/) or [Fix COM Registration Errors](/reference/troubleshoot/com-registration-error/).
