Enabling the Outlook Add-in

The Outlook Add-in allows your users to send secure Transit messages and large files directly from Outlook. It is up to you as an administrator of Transit to decide on if you want to enable the Outlook Add-in for your users.

Once enabled you will be able to download the Add-in installer right from the Admin pages within the app. You also have the option of allowing your users to install the Add-in themselves directly from their preferences.
