Version information for PowerPoint Add-in

Next to most features, you will find links to additional content (these open in a new browser tab).

[blog]: Most features are explained in a blog, along with screenshots, for a quick overview of the features and benefits.
[video]: Some features are discussed and demoed in a video, as part of our longer release video.
[user guide]: Most features have a dedicated article which provides step-by-step instructions on how to use them.
[training]: A micro-lesson is available for this feature in our Learning Center. Some lessons may cover multiple features, so several links can point at the same training content.
The remaining features are self-explanatory and don't need an article or video.

Subscribe to the release notes to be notified of the pre-announcement (at the beginning of the month) and post-release announcement (the follow month) and the feature update (on release day).

ℹ️ Phased release information: We roll out our add-in in phases. This is not a beta release (in a sandbox environment with a test version) nor an early access (with regular catch-ups with the development team) but this is a normal release under the standard Anaplan T&Cs and support process (contacting Anaplan Support). Note that the new versions have been thoroughly tested and can be used on your models and in your regular activities.

Phase 1 enables members of the feedback group to try out the add-in first. Any customer/partner/employee can join.
In phase 2, the add-in becomes available for download for all users
In phase 3, all users receive a notification in Microsoft Office that a new version is available

There are about 3 weeks between phases, the target dates for phases 2 and 3 may change.

ℹ️ How and why upgrade:

We recommend following our governance best practices to upgrade another version.

You can use any of the non-deprecated versions below, although we recommend using the latest ones to benefit from the newest functionalities. Should we deprecate some versions in the future, we will contact you directly and update this page.

PowerPoint Add-in: "Self-Service SAML"

Phase 1 [October 29, 2020], Phase 2 [November 17, 2020], Phase 3 [target November 30, 2020]

Our PowerPoint Add-in 1.7 has all the great features of 1.6 and also works with Self-Service SAML for customers who directly set up their SSO with Self-Service SAML. [user guide]

Self-Service SAML support

Customers who already had SSO set up manually and then migrated to Self-Service SAML can already use any version of the Excel Add-in. There is no change for those customers.
Customers who set up Self-Service SAML directly (in general new customers) can now enter their friendly url in Excel Add-in 4.1 to set up SSO. [user guide]
