How to install the JAVLN Officetech Outlook add-in

The JAVLN Officetech Outlook add-in puts your client and policy information beside your inbox, so you can file emails and pull up records without leaving Outlook.


Here's how to install it.


Step 1: Check whether you already have it


Open Outlook and look for the JAVLN navigation bar.



Not there: you do not have the add-in yet. Skip to Step 3

Already there: you have an older version. Start at Step 2.

Important: the installer will not update an existing add-in. If you already have it, remove the old version first. Installing over the top is the most common reason a reinstall fails.


Step 2: Remove the old version


Close the Outlook before you start. The uninstall will not finish cleanly while Outlook is running.


Press Windows key + I to open Settings, go to Apps > Installed apps, then search for JAVLN Officetech Outlook Add-in (or similar). Select it, click Uninstall and follow the prompts.


Step 3: Download the installer


Download the latest version here: JAVLN Officetech Outlook Add-in.


Step 4: Run the installer


Make sure Outlook is closed, then run the installer file and follow the on screen instructions.


Step 5: Open Outlook


The JAVLN navigation bar will appear and you are ready to go.


Why the JAVLN navigation bar may not appear straight away


Outlook sometimes switches an add-in off after a crash or a slow start, so the navigation bar goes missing even though the install worked. Turning it back on takes a few seconds: go to File > Options > Add-ins, set Manage to COM Add-ins, click Go, tick JAVLN Officetech Outlook Add-in and restart Outlook.
