Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) comes with many features, but installing add-ins opens up worlds of new capabilities. These applications can increase productivity, save time, and improve the user experience. Here are some of the best Microsoft 365 add-ins to streamline your workflow.
1. FindTime
Scheduling meetings that fit everyone’s schedules can be challenging. FindTime helps by locating open slots in each participant’s workday, at which point you can choose several times and put them to the vote amongst the attendees. Once a consensus is reached, FindTime schedules the meeting.
2. DocuSign
DocuSign is a popular e-signature solution allowing for secure document signing. With this add-on, you can securely sign documents or send them to others for their signatures. This application is encrypted with end-to-end Digital Transaction Management, meaning your documents will never be leaked or breached. A ten-day free trial is available to test out the app, and subscriptions start at $10 per month.
3. Grammarly
The last thing you want to send your clients is a poorly written email riddled with errors. Grammarly is a proof-reading tool that automatically improves your writing by providing suggestions. The program detects everything from grammar and spelling checks, vocabulary and writing styles, and even plagiarism. Subscriptions start at $11.66 per month when paid annually.
4. Translator
If you work with multiple languages, the Translator add-on can be very beneficial. The application recognizes over fifty different languages, making foreign communication a breeze.
5. Pexels
Need a beautiful stock image to make your document or presentation look professional? Pexels helps you locate high-quality free stock images under a Creative Common Zero license, meaning you can use them for any purpose with no legal repercussions. You can also save photos in a library for easy access.
6. Boomerang
When you’re away from the office, you don’t want to be bombarded by emails. Boomerang silences incoming emails and delivers them at a later time, allowing you to stay disconnected while you’re away from work. You can also send emails at a scheduled future time, letting you draft emails in advance.
7. Email Recovery
Accidentally deleting an important email can be scary. Fortunately, Email Recovery makes it easy for you to retrieve accidentally-deleted emails. Simply select the folder you’d like to recover emails from, either in the Recoverable Items or Purges folder, and retrieve your lost emails. You can also search for specific keywords, making it easy to find the exact email you want to restore.
8. Office Tab
Web browsers have introduced the notion of having multiple files open on one window. With Office Tab, you can bring that feature to Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, allowing you to access each document easily without having to flip through each window. You can also quickly rename a file or save it to a new folder by right-clicking on the documents tab in the taskbar. Overall, Office Tab introduces small changes that significantly improve Office efficiency.
9. Woodpecker
Standardize your legal documents with Woodpecker. By reusing these documents, you save time and cut down on mistakes from frequent updating. You can also easily share the form with other members of your team, and secure document management means that your files will stay safe.
